Anyone running Cary 306/200 CDP directly to Amps?

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.

Thanks for the informative responses. One thing I'm concerned about is the high voltage balanced output of the 306/200. I think the output is something like 6 volts, although I'm not sure. Will this harm my amps?

It may, I'm not too sure. I would be best to consult your owner's manual or call the manufacturer to find out.

Just so that I understand since I'm thinking about sending my 306/200 to Cary for this upgrade: It seems when you turned the volume up all the way on your 306/200, you heard a buzzing? Is that correct? So you assume there was some implementation issues concerning the volume control in the player? Thanks -- Fred
