buddyev Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) Any of you Elektra nuts know if it’s possible to use the home theatre bypass input as a standard rca input? How would I do it? Edited February 19, 2019 by buddyev

As Snoopy8 mentioned, HT bypass is a pair of RCA inputs. See the first second photo here. All outputs (RCA and balanced) are active at any time so you can drive say mains and subs in stereo mode.

I don’t need ht bypass so question is, is there a way to use it as a standard RCA - eg for a cdp? I’m assuming it’s not possible because the volume wouldn’t be controllable. It’s not a big deal but an extra input would be handy. The unit has a phono card fitted but i want use my own external phono so it effectively removes that built in phono input from use. Maybe I could take that out of the circuit? 1

I need to have a decent listen to the phono. It would be handy to use it but first impressions are that it isn’t as good as my Slee. tbh I hardly listen to vinyl these days so I could get rid of another box. 2

I don't listen to it as much either nowadays, but it is nice to have it there when I do want to. 1
