Anyone have their Audio Aero Capitole MKII yet?

hi Bad, is it in only one channel or both equally? maybe a loose connection?

i would try one channel at a time and switch things back and forth to isolate the problem. normally impedence would only affect dynamics and frequency balance and not add noise or static.

you could even run one channel thru the Symphonic Line and one thru the Chord to try to find the problem.

also try to plug in your power cords into different outlets to see if it might be some sort of power related issue. once i had a background buzz that turned out to be the interaction of a particular power cord with my amps.

i hope this helps.

Heard it in Paris this week and was blown away,,,place in the 19 env, Monde du cable,

was hook up to a very avg setup of Mac amps and boston acoustic speqkers,,,,,most excellent ,,,well worth a demo,,,

Fmpnd,

i am experiencing the same as you. As i run it into my integrated amp, if i put the AA volume at full force, i get clipping extremely quickly, as soon as i reach approx the lvl 10 (out of 99) of my amps volume level meter. And it gets loud very fast. Im going to call my dealer this afternoon and ask him if this is normal. I have a feeling that this AA doesnt like to have a preamp in its way.

Cheers

I TOO am having the problem getting the AA to play almost ANY track whether I try to play a specific track # or just use the < or > buttons to access a different track. THIS even happened on two NEW discs last night. Yes, the player is sounding better and better and seems to be cruising to world class status. BUT, at close to $9,000 and the new Philips Pro transport, I don't think it is too much to ask that it at least PLAY the tracks!! Bad, let me know what your dealer says about the volume issue. If anyone esles gets any info on what they plan to do on the tracking problem, please let us know.

Thanks guys.

Fmpnd: I wish you success in eliminating the Lamm and running it direct. If and when you sell the Lamm, you'll have more than chump change. You might even want to bid on the Beatles catalog.

I'm still waiting and waiting and waiting for my AA Capitole. Good luck with yours.
