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.

Lall- They are two different products that just happen to share the same unusual name :)
previous Post indicating reversed channel labeling was incorrect somehow the channel balance changed and again today the balance needed to be changed again, it keeps changing to the left even with the player left on continuously not even standby mode. Any ideas what's causing this behavior? Also can the balance be adjusted from the remote? How? This player occasionally makes me want to toss it into the street because of its operational qwirks does this bother anybody else or is it just me?
Took 15 minutes to adjust the balance and get into play mode again. But that sound no complaints there.
Call this number 512-335-6019. This is
AA's tech in Dallas. He'll fix it plus
do any up grades and ship back in a couple
days. Mine was under warranty and they paid
return shipping. Ask for Daryl. He was great
to work with. Randy
For what its worth, Daryl is in Austin, TX and operates a company called Digital Systems. I've spoken with him over the phone and he's a great guy to work with. Very helpful and knowledgeable about the AA Cap MKII.
My Capitole (P2 chip, after 3 months use, has started its quirks and occasionally misreads the disc. At other times, it refuses to play, with the timer standing still at 00.
I talked to Audio Aero and was informed that the P2 chip may contain some software problem. They are sending me a free software upgrade; I believe it's the P4. I'm not in the US!
Anyone with the P3 or P4 chip encountered any problems?
thanks
