The"new" look Capitole

Id like to apologise for my ad on audiogon which advertised the new MkII Capitole for sale. After receiving several emails from enlightened individuals, and from an angry manufacturer, it seems i was wrong. The guy who sold it to me last week (i actually bought two of these players from him at a great price) told me it was a MkII when in fact it was not (he told me it was a brand new version, so its probably my fault for assuming it was a MkII). I just saw the pic of the MkII this morning and it doesnt look like my units. I thought the changes were purely internal, which led to my mistake. I have removed the ad and will post a new ad with the correct title and description later on in the day.

Cheers

I confronted my friend about the issue that there are no Capitoles in Asia and he told me that he heard a prototype player at CES in january. Just to clarify things. The prototype obviously wont sound as good as the production models but he still stands by his word and prefers the old one. My old Capitole will be arriving shortly.

Lorgorian: I was at CES in January and there was NO prototype at the show. As the #1 dealer for Audio Aero in the US, I would have known about it. The model at the show is the Capitole that has been available for the past 8+ months. I am sorry, but your friend is not being honest with you, or he has the Capitlole confused with some other player.

I wish you the best with the Capitole you are about to receive. It is (IMHO) TERRIFIC!!! Email me when you receive it and I will share a few tricks with you for improving the sound.

Lordgorian: Would you like to clarify again?

There is NOONE who has heard this player unless they were at the Montreal show.Period!Whatever your friend in Asia heard was not the the"new" Capitole,because not even GM new there was going to be a replacement.There is no dealer I am aware of that has heard it either unless they were in Canada between the 21st and 24th of March.From what I have been told,it does sound better than the current version and should be a winner.We all are going to have to wait until they are a reality and then all comments will be reality instead of speculation.
