It's funny you should ask. I recently got a Sony SDP-508ESD on e-bay
whose variable output had been modified. I use it straight into a
power amp. Sounds great. Most CD players have relatively poor variable
output stages, though.

Well, it's not like there's a choice for most CD players. If the output
is
variable, that's the same one that goes to your preamp anyway.

Nope. For example, my Adcom provides both fixed and variable level
outputs.

Nope what? You own most CD players?
