Lawrence H Wesson Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I am looking at Scott and Fisher integrated amps. However I do not have (nor want) a phonograph. I want to play only CDs. Is there an existing input you can use or do you have to add a modification to the amp in order to play a CD. If you were to use an existing amp input, what is your guess on how well the CD would sound as compared to a modern SS amplifier. I guess what I am trying to ask is - does the CD not work well with a tube integrated amplifier. Thanks in advance for your advice and opinions. Larry P.S. How do you place your System Profile automatically (below) without having to copy and paste it in every time (like I did below). I'm new, this is my second post but I cannot find any help material on these things. I have emailed amy@klipsch.com, the email goes through but no one has responded. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For Music: 1985 KHorns, Onkyo TX-SV515PRO Receiver, Sony CD/DVD Player DVP-S560D.

jbsl Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 There should be other inputs besides phono, use one of those. They may be labeled Aux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenderbender Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Aux or Tape in would work just fine.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polk SDA-1s Hi Larry, Welcome to the Klipsch Forum! I am new here also! If you go to the top of the page, you will see a "Edit Profile" button. You can paste your system profile in the system profile box. I hope that helps, Dennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrence H Wesson Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 By the way, how do you get the items you have below the line at the bottom of your message... the ("I have acted disgracefully, I have eaten animal flesh and enjoyed it, what is wrong with me!") for example. Do you have to enter it every time or just once for all messages - and how and where do you do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st. patrick Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Larry, if you go to the very top of the screen, right hand side, surrounded in black, it should have your name, and next to it a button for "Edit Profile". Click on that and the put it into the Signature Box that appears . . . . . . I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenderbender Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Hey Lawrence.....Just wanted to welcome you aboard........wait until you try to post a pic on this screwy site!!!! [] you need a post graduate degree..... anyway Scott and Fisher make some very nice integrated amps that go very well with Klipsch...that you should really enjoy....keep us posted on what you get PS we'll turn you to to the dark side and you'll be spinning vinyl before you know what happened to ya!!!!

Groomlakearea51 Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 On using Aux vs Tape input, be careful with the tape circuit. Reason? Some SS CD players output voltages are quite high and you can easily drive the amp into clipping. But.... if the CD player is high quality, the output voltage should be the standard 150-200 mV and thus works perfectly on either circuit. Check the specs on the tube amp, and see what the Aux circuit shows as input sensitivity, etc. Sometimes, the aux circuit seems to work/sound better.

Audio Flynn rule of thumb is an netwok cpacitor over 10 years old needs to be replaced. I am probably going to rebuild my RB-5 networks next.
