As mentioned, if all you listen to are CD (in which case I pity you, but that's life) and you have the variable output you should be okay. Have you checked into the output impedence of your CDP, and checked to see what your amp prefers?
Cd player direct or through preamp?
I was hoping someone could give me an educated opinion on the advantages, if any, of running a cd player straight to the amp, or using a preamp? Is one better than the other? If it is why would anyone use a preamp? Thanks in advance for all your help!! regards,,Jon
