Cary 308T CD player Level Adjust.

I have the same capability with my Cary 303/200. As a convenience, I have set it where the output level is roughly the same as from my SACD player which has no additional volume control. It is near the max on the Cary but a bit lower. In my system, I didn't detect any difference between the current level and using the max level. Bob

Thanks for the response Willobandb. That confirmed what I noticed. If I turn the volume to max it tends to sound a bit bright. Whereas, if I back it off just a bit shy of max it sounds smoother and doesn't kill the detail.

Robm321, When I had a 308-T, I kept it at about 32. I found, like you, it was a little brighter. Also, Kevin at Upscale said that keeping it a little below the maximum would prolong the life of the tubes.
