Anyone running Cary 306/200 CDP directly to Amps?


I'm considering sending my 306/200 to Cary Audio to have the volume control installed. Anyone running the 306/200 directly to amps? How does this configuration compare with running the 306/200 with a decent hi-end preamp? Thanks

It may, I'm not too sure. I would be best to consult your owner's manual or call the manufacturer to find out.
I don't run a Cary 306, but I do have a Cal Audio CL-15 which has the variable output like the Cary. I have found that I prefer running a tubed pre-amp. The pre-amp takes out some of the harshness and makes it more pleasurable to listen. (Cal Audio CL-15 - Cary SLP-50B - McCormack DNA .5) You may want to consider this option, I have found that many people prefer this type of set-up.
