Stoopid amp question, but I'm confused


Integrated amp vs. power amp. Whats the difference? I think I know the answer to this question, but I'm not certain, and I've no one to ask. I believe an integrated will allow me to go directly from my cd player to the amp then out. I'll be able to control volume, and such at the amp. where as with a power amp, I need to go through a preamp first. Am I right on? Right off? Help! before I waste my money!

I can't emphasize strongly enough that you read "The Complete Guide to Highend Audio". Good luck and all the best.
