    Roksan Kandy amplifier - One input broken?

    Hi, I have a Roksan Kandy integrated amplifier, with multiple working inputs. But the "CD" input has no sound. I can repair electronics, but I'm confused with this. The RCA connector itself is fine, it passes current with a multimeter. It then goes into a circuit, circled in red: Is it...

    Sansui AU-717 and AU-517

    How do you guys go about these amps that lack a 'Mono' switch? Do you just use a mono phono cart for records, but what about mono 8-tracks or cassettes? I still listen to a lot of mono music. What is everyone's consensus on this topic?
