iPod volume versus laptop volume


When I connect my iPod to my stereo I seem to lose some volume (versus the CD). Would the same thing happen if I connected my laptop to the stereo? I know I can try it but I don't have the right cable at my fingertips.

Also, should it matter which input it's connected to?

Thanks.

Swampwalker,

So either the laptop or the iPod should be connected to phono? That way, I won't be able to alternate between vinyl and the iPod/laptop at my upcoming Christmas party.

Is that right?

Now I have the iPod connected to a tape input and I'm losing volume.

Does that make sense?

Thanks.
