Cary SACD 306 Upgraded


Last night we finished the upgrade of a working Cary SACD 306 player.  Audio Note resistors and capacitors, Nichicon capacitors, new OP-amps, laser, etc.  All I can say is before it was nothing special but now, WOW.  Music just jumped out of the player.  Test CD was Dean Peer base guitarist.  Separation of notes was incredible.  Dynamics ad clarity were the same.  Tone of the guitar, drums and effects were awesome.  Cannot wait to let it play and try other CDs as the one we used is a really good recording of music.  But after an hour or two, we were impressed.  System our 6SN7 custom preamp, our custom Class A tube mono blocks, into Vivid Kaya 45 speakers.

Happy Listening
