I have in my possession a pair of Altec 1594B amps. These were used in a theater sound system. I'm going to bring them up on a VARIAC to check them out. My question is about the inputs. These amps will be used in a home audio system. A tube preamp will be used. Right now my PAS3. Which inputs do I use for an RCA input jack?

Also anyone have a schematic they would be willing to share?

Do they have the RCA input jacks, or just the guitar 1/4 inch input jacks?

This is for the C, but it should be close enough......... I used it when I hooked up my A. I hooked an old CD player up directly...... I'm not sure if the impedance is really right for it, but I've been enjoying it anyway.

Thanks Goodwill HiFi you are a life saver, and apparently a vintage audio rescuer like me! Thrift Store finds are how I fund my Audio Addiction.
