Exemplar 2900 or AA Capitole ii


I am looking on upgrading my source. I have thought about these two players. Has anyone heard them both and care to share their views? I am looking to get off the merry go round for awhile. Will be paired with Rowland's new integrated and Piega p10 speakers. Thanks.

jfz,
Do you use it for video,too? I will be using it for both 2 ch and dvd use. How is the video quality? What cables are you using?
I also added a SDI output to my exemplar 2900 which provides a digital video feed to my scaler. Video quality is first rate.
This is now the finest universal player available IMHO.
Vikingboy,
What is a sdi scaler? Did John add that? What are your associated equipt? What have you compared the Exemplar with? How long was the wait? Thanks.
John doesnt add the SDI board, I had to do the work myself.
I feed the SDI digital video feed to a faroudja scaler and then into a sony g70 projector.
I previously used a panasonic rp82 via SDI which is ranked the number 1 player on secrets test.

www.pmsvideo.com sell the sdi boards ($100ish) and the player reviews are by Stacey Spears on Secrets home theater and hifi site. Ill post the link later on for you.

Using SDI levels the playing field between dvd players regardless of cost.
