Interesting info! I have also found that power cords and footers/shelfs definetely make a difference with the Capitole. Personally, I prefer the sound of the Capitole when used with my Joule preamp... it just sounds a bit more whole and tonally right to me that way.

BTW, You DO NOT have to send the player to Canada for the SE mod. I have done the SE mod (and some basic severice) to several Capitole CD players (I'm a authorized Audio Aero dealer and AA distributor Globe Audio has approved me to do the mods). Check with Jody and Mat @ Globe Audio, they may have someone fairly near by so you do not have to ship your player across the country or to Canada to get the SE mod done.

I have my own little twist of the SE mod, prefering Cryo'd Hovland caps instead of the units Jody likes to use. In any case, the SE mod on a MK2 Captiole is a clear step forward. A slight layer of fuzz goes away, they player becomes more resolving but maintains its very natural tonal characteristics.

Happy Listening,
