Yet another newbie question.I have a Nakamichi CD changer with an output level control on the remote,could this be connected directly to the inputs of a power amp(with gain controls)??? I have read posts stating that an audio signal is degraded slightly with each circuit it passes through and I can't think of a more direct path than that .I can't learn more about this hobby without asking the questions even if they may seem silly,so be nice or I'll sic my cat on you
