Cary 308T CD player Level Adjust.
I tried the stock Jan tubes, some new Siemens, some new Mullard CVs. However, my favorite tubes were old, cyoed Amperex. What are you using?

I should have been more specific. That was the level that allowed me to keep my preamp at 12:00. I then used the Carys volume control to adjust the level (no remote on my preamp). My usual listening was from 50 to 60. I left it on all the time sin... 
The Lector CD Player- Opinions?
I saw that Music Direct is selling it. You may want to ask them what they thought of it. I have found most of those guys have good ears. I usually speak with Mark, John, or Bes.

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. 
audio logic 34- upgrade info
Rx8man, thanks for the upgrade info.. I have the 24mxl and I was wondering if there were upgrades for it. I thought I saw the 24mxl on the 6moons upcoming review list. However, it is not there anymore. 
How does good analog differ from good digital

I second Bigkidz with a recommendation for an Audio Logic. For 3k, you should be able to buy a used one or perhaps a demo, some great tubes, and a good power cord. I would also consider an Audio Note 3.1x Balanced DAC. You might even consider spea... 
audio logic 34- upgrade info
I just re-read the info. in Rx8mans's link and I saw that Jerry Ozment will allow modifications by others that are approved by him. That leads me to believe that he feels that certain parts can be improved. Have any of you spoken to him about what... 
Whatever happened to REAL "owners manuals" ???

Review: Michael Wolff Source and Gain Cords Power cord
RPW, I do not have the latest Source Cord. Michael said I should be gettin it soon. Is there something in particular that you thought improved with the latest version? Also, are you using a Gain or a Source cord on your preamp? Thanks. 
First Sound compared to Supratek, VAC, or Audio No
Tbq, I just went to the website. Is there a product, yet. It seems that this is the mythic preamp that was being discussed a couple of months ago. Do you know anything more about it that the very general stuff written on the website? Thanks. 
McCormack Amps w/upgrades or other SS/Hybrids
Sorry guys. The rest of my message was cut off. To paraphrase, you both offered excellent suggestions that I am considering. Thanks a lot.
