Older Cary 306/200 vrs a recent used Cary CD500?

Thanks for responding guys. I've really only owned a couple of cd players since the mid eighties. A Denon dcd3300 kept me happy for many years until problems developed. Bought a used Rotel rcd1072 which was ok but the soundstage was smaller than the warmer sounding Denon. Then I found the Denon 1650AR. Soundstage was back! So, I'm really limited in hearing various quality players.
I now listen to CD's 90% of the time now. I collected to many CD's over the years. I do like the newer players and their flexability for future use. The Cary 303T seems to do everything..

OP & Brownsfan,

what other gear are you guys using w/ that DENON 1650 cd player?

You can check out my system. I do change amplifiers at times. Currently using a pair of Quicksilver Mid Mono's, Audible Illusions 3B preamp and Vandersteens. Other gear is listed. All the best.

To each his own, but the 303/300 was the single most disappointing high end piece I ever owned.

How do you like your 3B preamp? I have had the original Modulus3, a 3A which is in my secondary system and the new 3B in my reference system. I think there is a big difference for the better with the 3B. I really makes my system shine.
