Connect Amp directly to TV variable out?
If a TV of mine has a variable rca output, can I simply connect a power amp, not a receiver, to it and use the TV volume control to adjust the volume? Will this provide the right kind of input the amp is needing?
Thanks.

This is little off-topic but...
I prefer to use my Mac computer to store and play my music.
I output through a pair of Yamaha NS10M speakers.
In between is a Sony STR DA1000ES receiver. It is a fine machine, but I am minimalist by nature, and find it to be too large, to have too many bells a whistles and to be inconvenient to operate.
I would prefer a Cambridge Audio 340A Integrated Amplifier (or 540a).

Cool if you like simple.
But before I comment to the integrated amp, I would like some follow-up on the topic question.
As all of my audio emanates from my computer (I use no peripherals) and as I am content to control the volume and EQ from the computer, is it possible to connect the computer line out directly to a power amp like the AudioSource AMP 100 (or other power amps)?
I had previously thought that connecting the computer directly to a power amp would cause it to bust into flame, that a preamp was a necessity.

Interesting and helpful information.
I hope this discussion has benefitted the originator of the topic as much as it has helped me.
I will hold off replacing my Sony STR DA1000ES receiver with a Cambridge Audio 340A Integrated Amplifier for a while longer while I investigate stand-alone power amps.
Let’s see... A smallish, silver, cleanly designed, inexpensive, quality audio power amplifier with volume control. That should be easy enough to find : )
Thank you.
