cary 303/300 cd player with volume control


my brothers...

has anyone bypassed their pre amp and hooked their 303/300 right up to their power amp? i am curious about what kind of results you might have had using the volume control on the 303/300 with a power amp, and particularly tubed power amps.

thanks!

I'm running my Cary 303/300 direct to a SS amp via balanced ICs. Have also used it with my tubed ARC LS-16 Mk II. I prefer the Cary direct, but have been making various system changes and will be doing some tube rolling so not certain this will be the final configuration.

The remote controls all the player's features - SS vs. tube output, upsampling choices, power and volume etc. The steps for the volume are just a tad coarser than I would like, but I'm very picky in wanting my levels set exactly so for a particular song. With 64 steps, most people will be more than happy with it and it's really not an issue for me.
