Elect. EMC-1 Mk II vs. Audio Aero Capitole Mk II ?


I'm considering buying one of these CD players based upon previous recommendations online here. Between these two players, can anyone further recommend which sounds better and what the differences are in sound? I will be hooking it up to a Conrad Johnson MF2500A amp and two B&W matrix 802 main speakers. I also have an Audio Research LS-15 pre-amp if I need to use. I'm aware the AA Capitole has a built-in pre-amp. Thanks again

Anybody know how the AA people "fixed" the bass weakness when going from the MK1 to MKII? Don't both units still employ 12ax7 type tubes? I auditioned the MK1 extensively at home and the bass reminded me of the fat & ripe bass you get from many tube amps, especially those using 12ax7 for gain.
