say i wanted to have 2 seperate cd players hooked up to the one amp which only has one cd input, is there any way of purchasing an a/b switch that would allow me to do this without having to continually change the connections to switch between players?
thanks S

You don't have to use the CD input necessarily to connect a cd player. You can also use the AUX and TAPE inputs.
So in your case: CD for cd player1 and AUX or TAPE for cd player 2
But never use the PHONO and TUNER inputs for your cd players

oh right - thanks i understood never to use the phono or tuner inputs so i just presumed it was the same scenario for tape and aux :0)

With most amps these inputs (CD TAPE AUX) are identical. For a cd player these inputs are actually too sensitve: when turning the volume knob on your amp at 9 o'clock it will sound already extremely loud. A few brands like Quad en Meridian give you the option to adjust these input values to your own likings.

on my amp the phono/aux input is one and the same, take it i avoid this one and opt for either the av/dvd ot md/tape2 inputs with the second player then?

Yes, I would do that, although it wouldn't hurt if you connected your player to phono/aux I guess. I'd go for md/tape2 of which I'm certain it is identical to the cd input.
