UPGRADES FOR AUDIO AERO CD PLAYERS

Yes, isolation from acoustic vibration has a huge effect on the sound quality!

There are two problems;

1.) Vibration through your audio rack.

2,) Vibration from sound waves to the CD player's metal case.

Both can have an effect on the players ability to read the disc and to vibrate at the same frequency

that the player is trying to produce, not good!

What can be done?

First:

Deaden the case with a Harmonic Resolution Damping plate.

PRESTIGE SACD / CD PLAYER

$13,900

This player is dedicated to customers who want to focus on the audio aspect and are looking for a machine offering the best performance in digital and analog treatment for SACD and CDs. The Prestige SACD player offers the highest quality level and is intended to be the source in a top-of-the -range audio system.

Based on a Philips SACD laser mechanism, digital signal is treated using 3 exclusive re-samplers featuring the DSD compatible STARS2 ® module. The 6 channels are re-sampled to 24/192, and in the case of SACD, DSD is first converted to PCM 88kHz (high frequency noise suppression, 9 dB S/N improvement) and then re-sampled to 24/192.

The output stage consists of subminiature tubes for left and right channels (high quality op-amps for surround) and a built-in IC ladder attenuator that provides constant quality whatever the setting.

Also, in the SACD version of the player, the danger of radiation and interference from a video section is eliminated, and the audio quality of the player is preserved.

Shielded in its separated box, the power supply unit consists of three high power switching modules which ensure constant voltages, plus protection from AC fluctuations and heat.

Voltage regulation is performed in the player itself for shorter connections, thus resulting in voltage stability.

Control functions for the unit are performed on the front panel with innovative joysticks or with the learning LCD remote control.

THE NEW CAPITOLE !

$9800

Capitole CD Player Reference : take the redbook CD challenge

Exclusive STARS® 32bitFP/192kHz processing for a 24bit/192kHz RE-sampling, subminiature tube output stage,

digital input, remote volume control and analogue inputs.

Capitole CD Player Reference has been designed with the idea to equal the SACD and DVD performance.

This is the ideal player for discerning audiophiles with a huge CD collection and not willing to go for new digital formats.

First, we selected a high-end laser mechanism from Philips for its excellent playback performance, long lifetime, low play noise and long product life cycle. Supported by a specific aluminium suspension, its excellent readability allows to retrieving a maximum of CD’s data.

Then, we included the state-of-the-art in digital processing : our exclusive STARS ® process (Solution for Time Abstraction Re Sampling), a combination of very high speed 192 kHz RE-sampling (a new jitter free clock is created), 24 bit re-quantization and signal enhancement techniques (extraction of “hidden” information from 16 bit data, improvement of dynamic, precision, soundstage and details), developed for Audio Aero by Anagram Technologies SA.

The core of the system is a 32 bit SHARC DSP which, by performing hundred millions of calculations per second, rebuilds a high precision 24/192kHz signal, independent from the input clock, and keeping total dynamic range in all stages.

Then, after a 1024 times up-sampling on demand, D/A conversion is performed at 6.144MHz by a high performance 24 bit / 192 kHz DAC.

Analogue output stage features sub-miniature tubes and high precision buffer with built-in high quality volume control for a perfect match between high-tech digital treatment and musicality.

192 kHz oversampling, 24 bit / 192 kHz DAC and subminiature tube output stage

AWARDED "SPECIAL RECOMMENDATION" BY STEREO MAGAZINE IN JAPAN

We designed this CD player with the goal to offer the best performance from the latest technology components in signal conversion and treatment.

First, we chose a musical and reliable Sony laser mechanism, able to read CD’s, CD-R’s and CD-RWs.

Then, by performing a 192 kHz over-sampling and delivering data to a high performance 24 bit / 192 kHz DAC from Burr-Brown, digital signal is converted with enhanced resolution, presence, dynamics and soundstage (16 bit signal treated by a 24 bit DAC), giving analogue-like medium and high.

In order to keep and reveal qualities of digital stage, the output stage features two sub-miniature tubes and a high quality buffer.

We hope you’ll enjoy its qualities as much as we do.

Audio Aero Capitole Power Amplifier

Standing out from the conventional tube amplifier mob, the Capitole Power Amp features the TRAC system (Tube Relay Amplification Concept) based on a 50's triode-pentode amplification design.

This 50 W Class A push-pull special configuration leans on the very musical triode wired E34L and at all times is supported by the KT88 / 6550 C pentode.

Main advantages are speed, wide bandwidth, musicality and power. All soundstage, details, timbre and dynamics from the recording are so lifelike that the system vanishes to let the music live.

Technical Data

Frequency range: 7 Hz - 50 Hz (-1db)

Output power: 50 W Class A / 8 ohms

Total harmonic distortion: < 0.1%

Tubes: 6SN7GT, E34L, KT88/6550C

Audio Aero Prestige Monoblocs

Prestige Monoblocks represent the latest development of the exclusive TRAC® system (Tube Relay Amplification Concept).

Single-ended triode and high voltage pentode are matched to bring out the best of both worlds (musicality and low impedance for triode - power and efficiency for pentode). Far beyond classical single-ended designs, these reference mono blocks are able to reproduce music in an outstanding way, offering the most open, dynamic and realistic sound you’ve ever heard.

Indeed, this 40 W Class A special system allows single-ended to keep its body and magic, and enables higher speed, large bandwidth, incredible true soundstage, improved details and focus. Step forward and go to the exception.

Capitole Transtrac

Transtrac Amplifier - A new kind of amplification for the best of both worlds.

We designed TransTrac® system (Transistor - Tube Relay Amplification Concept) with the idea to have the sound of a full tube amplifier out of a tube/transistor configuration.

This unique system is a pure Class A balanced triode amplification with an additional D-MOSFET booster to increase output power.

The preamp stage delivers a perfectly balanced signal to the very linear triode power tubes (E34L). Then, the booster performs a perfect copy of the signal from the output transformer and increases both transformer impedance and output power. Each booster is trimmed to obtain a perfect balance between the two channels.

Both output transformers and booster are connected to the speaker terminal. Output transformer nominal impedance is 6 ohms but it will accept speaker impedances from 4 to 8 ohms. Only a local feedback is used to lower output impedance. When overdriven, tubes are clipping before boosters to always keep pure Class A sound. All the reality and soundstage of a tube amp is reproduced in a unique, small and cost effective equipment, available in integrated and power version.

Specifications:

Typical audio performance :

Frequency range : 10Hz - 40 kHz (-1dB)

Output power : 40 W Class A / 6 ohms
