Attention Cary CD Owners


Ok, my Cary 306 just arrived. She's beautiful, and sounds so much better than what I had. I knew about the blue laser lights but never sat in front of them in the near dark. I'm right in front of them and about twelve feet away. What are you people doing to keep your eyes from burning out? You can't help but look into them and it gives me a headache. Not too bad in the daylight though. I don't want to permanetly modify them as I know one day I'll sell it to somebody on acid or Ex who would like the pain. These things are so bright they shined through heavy black paperboard dots that I punched out and taped over them!
I guess I shouldn't bitch. It sure sounds great but any ideas are welcome:-)

Acatnthehat... I just sold my 306 and will be getting a new 306/200 as replacement. The Cary players are excellent, highly detailed, yet musical machines. However, if you look on the back of the unit you will find a label that says assembled in Hong Kong. Surprised? Cary designed the unit, but at least some of them are put together elsewhere. I was a little surprised when I saw it too.
If anyone finds an asthetically acceptable way to tame those eye piercing lights, I wish to know also! You'd think that they would have heard about and therefore addressed that problem with a dimmer or something for the new model. Regardless, I think the Cary units are hard to beat in their price range!
