Rowe CD100 Channel Blown? Can I Replace Juke Amp with Stereo Receiver?

(1/2) > >>

cqlink:
Speakers connected to the right channel of my CD jukebox distort on SOME (not all) CDs.  I can't stand it.

I already sent the amp to Bruce W. at A&B for rebuild and I don't want to shell out $300-$350 to have another rebuild.

Is there a way to bypass the jukebox amp and wire the CD player to another/ external amp or receiver?

Would one of the Rowe Ami Amplifier Boards such as the 60792702 get me there?

If so,  could anyone explain how to do it?

Thanks in advance!

you can just unplug the RCA's from the amp that come from the CD unit and pipe them directly into a regular old power amp. even if you had the amp board 60792702, you'll have to supply your own volume control for it... making the purchase pointless.

get a home receiver and extend the IR outside the cabinet (or pipe the RCA's outside the juke to your amp) and just use the amps remote to control your volume.

Thanks.  What are "IRs?"

By any chance, do you have a picture of a similar set-up?

lilshawn:
IR = Infra Red - IE, the remote control for the amp... so you can adjust the volume without having to go the amp and manually turn it up everytime.,

So....I'm guessing the internal jukebox speaker wires and my external speaker wires need to be wired into the external amp?

Thanks for the help!
