Audio Aero Capitole MK II: Performance & Problems


Capitole MKII users, kindly update on the sonic virtues but also on any repeated technical problems. No forum postings since a week! Have these problems stopped? I understand that some units needed a software update; have these been recalled? Does the performance justify the high price? Please contribute.

i think the 50 milli-second gap between tracks problem has been fixed with the new chip. When you played a CD where there was no blanks between tracks, the old chip used to put one automatically. From what i understand, this is now gone.....which is a good thing if its true on all discs, and not only sting :)
I have the same problem with the other live albums .. between tracks there is a 1ms audio drop..other then that my CAP is A-1
The only real way to find wether or not you have the new chips is to remove the cover.It is correct,that there are a# of cds that have that casue the Capitole to have this 50 mm dropoff.If it is P chip it is NOT the new chip.Take 5 minutes to find out.
Sattothestars; It clearly states in the owners manual for the Audio Areo Capitole MK11, in bold type, REMOVING THE COVER OF THE UNIT WILL VOID THE WARRANTY. I just thought you all should know this.
Has anyone with the "verified" new chip tried to use the previous track function? When I use this button, it only returns to the beginning of the current track. I believe the old chip honored the previous track function as indicated. A little help please...........

Thanks!
