Cary 306 Pro opinions


I want to know your opinion about the Cary 306 Pro. Could you compare with other CD players?
I want to replace my old Krell KPS20i Delta 9 CD player and the Cary 306 Pro is one of my options. I´m not really inetrest on SACDs. Other options: Audio Aero Capitole Classic, Ayon CD-2, Wadia 861SE... I need balanced outputs.
I will apreciate all your suggests and recomendations.
Thanks

FWIW, I owned the original Cary 306 player and found it to be a wonderful sounding RBCD and SACD player. I sold it because the original had an issue with the transport and I didn't want to risk mine going bad over time. I am pretty sure that Cary has eliminated that issue with the latter version of the 306 and with the 306 Pro. If that is the case, it would make an excellent addition to your setup. For me, I switched to a Marantz SA11S2 which I like almost as much as the Cary 306 (and for a lot less coin).
has anyone listened to their cary 306 sacd (i don't have the pro version) with and without the heavy top cover on. i did this the other night and the music sounded better with the cover off. i tried it a few times and things definitely sounded better cover off.

maybe a vibration issue? not sure. but would be curious if anyone else has done this or could experiment.

thanks
Vcoheda, The Cary sounds better played witout the cover??
Waht way does it sound better?
Very interesting , I will have to give it a try.

By the way, while you have the cover off replace the 2 fuses with the silver HIFI Tuning fuses.
the sound is more open - less congested.

where are the fuses? i will look into that. thanks.
