I haven't. Mine is way back in the queue of 'things that need fixing.' Lockdown doesn't help.Originally Posted by Beobloke

It's from 1979 so pre-dates the introduction of CD. You can use the tuner input it's exactly the same.OK , now located , Its a Philips 270 pre , However it only has tape Phono and tuner

In other news I now have the Sancoz DAC up and running. Not had long enough to give it a proper evaluation yet but it does sound very clean and clear.

Just tried the 270 pre and yes it does work , along with the Sony CD player and my big valve amp , sounds terible
Will see if I can find the power amp that goes with the 270 pre

It will sound terrible (flat and 'sat on') because a typical tuner input has a sensitivity of 100mV, whereas a CDP can put out as much as 2V.Just tried the 270 pre and yes it does work , along with the Sony CD player and my big valve amp , sounds terible

A friend of mine used to say how bad CDs sounded. It wasn't till I heard his setup (a Cambridge CDP, running into the radio input of a Harrison S200 integrated amp) did I understand what he meant. His amp was being overloaded by the CDP. A change of amp to one with a proper CD input sorted the problem.
