Audio Aero Capitole MK2 CD Puck.


Anyone experienced using a Electrocompaniet Spider puck instead of the original one for the Capitole Mk-2? Feedbacks on this are appriciated.
Thanks

The importer has a replacement puck kit that you can buy for about $130
Instead of a cone-shaped spindle it has a non-tapered shaft of about a half inch diameter. The new puck then locates snuggly onto the shaft eliminating any lateral movement when the assembly rotates.
It all feels much more solid. You'll need a small bladed screwdriver to pop out the old tapered shaft and some epoxy/adhesive to bond the new shaft in position.

Here's a link to their website

Thanks guys for your input. All Germans who own the Capitole use a Electrocompaniet Spider puck instead of the original one and state it gives the music a much quieter background.
I'am a new owner of this great player and It slaughtered my Krell KPS-25Sc in everyway. One thing I'm not so sure is that from photos on the net. My unit is a mark-2 but it doesn't have the 4 small yellow capacitors by the output stage just before the XLR connectors...anyone can shed some light on this?
Thanks
Does anyone know if the spider puck would work with my Capitole 24/192?

Also, how/where does one purchase the Electrocompaniet spider puck.
