How much gain do you need ? what supplies have you got ?
You need 2 opamps or 1 dual TL072. See image.
The second one is phase inverting but this configuration can sound better to me. You can add a small ( around 4.7 PF ) cap across the 47 K ( This is where you need your 'scope )

Hi,
the highest signal from a CD player is about 2Vac.
If you have a 100W into 8r0 amplifier then the highest signal to the speaker is 28.28Vac.
The gain you need is 14.1Times (+23dB).
most amplifiers are set up with a gain of between +20dB and +36dB.
You don't need any more gain in the preamp to achieve maximum power into your speakers.
You need attenuation.

Hi,

Something is very wrong if you need to boost a CD players output.

hi,

if my amp operate with my mobile phone. the sound is very strong and loud as it should be by the wats but when i attach the cd player it's gets flat and low sound like 50% less then mobile phone was used. so i was thinking may be it cause by the gain is too low for the amp.

thank you.
