Hello all. Happy 4th. Hopefully this amp will be of interest. I was given three of these reel to reel amps and wanted to use two with a cd player. Maybe someone with knowlege could help. The 6ar5 tube is for the erase section and is not needed. I dont know if I need both 6au6 tubes. What are the possibilities here. Maybe even use a phono as well. Thanks for any help or interest. And again happy 4th. Mark
