HOW USE A CD PLAYER WITH A PHONO ONLY PREAMP

TO ALL:
I am looking for a method to hook up a CD Player without volume control if possible to my PS Audio GCPH Phono Only Preamp.
I already have a splitter from the RC Connector for the Self Powered Sub Woffer going out.

If not possible with-out a CD Player/with Volume control.
Which entry level CD Player would you recommend.
CD Source is very limited to my lisening
As to amps I use Monoblocks If that matters.

I am hopeing not to have to reconfigure all the connections every time I want to switch between the two...
Any and all suggestions would be much appreciated.

thanks much

Hi moregunk

I don't know why you'd want to, but you cant. A phono preamp includes eq for the RIAA curve required to restore records to a flat response. You don't want that equalization applied to your cd player.

In addition a phono preamp is designed to amplify the very small signals from a phono cartridge and a line level signal like a cd player will overload it. You need another solution.
