Got iPod, how to hook up?

Hello, I just got an Applie iPod, and am ripping like a mad scientist. Hooked it up to my stereo and it sounds dead, lifeless, no bass, even with the EQ set to pump up the bass and with uncompressed storage of the CDs. Is it just me? Any chance a nice adaptor would work to hook it up to the stereo? Any hook up recommendations?

1) rip something as an AIFF file..that is the same as a compact disc..no compression. Yes it takes up a lot of room, and yes it's harder on batteries, but at least you are starting with the best quality.
2) Use the base station and a mini to rca adapter from RatShack or similar. Do NOT keep the iPod plugged into your computer while it's plugged into your hi-fi...lot's of noise there.
3) Listen. It's not the greatest, but it's really not that bad at all..as said above it's great for parties or background tunes while you make dinner.
Enjoy, it's a cool toy.
