Can we take an off the shelf CD Player and install , let's say a 10K stepped
attenuator or Alps type pot inside the CD player on the output line? Would
this make a cleaner audio input to the tube amp? The 2 alternatives are an
outboard passive "preamp" with let's say 100k attenuator or installing it
inside the amp. I tried the passive preamp route with mixed results but got
straightened out from info in a previous thread by using a much shorter
interlink cable.

Cordially,
