Cary 306/200 CD Player vs VPI Scout


So, I'm selling my current digital source. In its place, I'm considering either the Cary 306/200 CD Player or a VPI Scout with JMW9 Sig., Grado Ref Sonata II and AES PH-1.

My amp is a CARY 300SEI and I have AKG K-1000 cans.

My question is: Will the analog setup compare to the Cary in terms of fidelity? Also, could you compare with regards to frequency extremes; high and low??

I listen mostly to acoustic music; Jazz primarily.

thanx much!!

thanx much.

Sorry about the repost. I just wanted to say the K1000 headphones are the best investment I've made on that end. They are so amazing I'm actually thinking of buying another pair because they are discontinued. There is nothing out there like it for headphones. I have them and the VPI and the Cary 308T (which is not as resolving as the 306/200 but has a soft tube sound that I prefer). And the K1000 goes very well with vinyl.
It is an apples to oranges comparison. The VPI is a bargain at it's price and will give you quality vinyl sound which should rise above and CD, SACD close to it's price range if you like the organic sound of vinyl.
