Thanks Jcbtubes. I have tried the DIRECT CDP connection to my NADC370 a year ago;YET the sound is too loud for late evening listening even with the volume of the CDP set to Min.Somebody has suggested to desolder certain connection within the CDP to lower down the output Volt?,but I don't want to run the risk simply I don't know how to solder.Just lately, I saw an ads on British audio web site about (Rothwell?) Attenuator,reportedly it will attenuate 10dB;wonder if this device might just do the job ?(connect the device between the CDP and IC ;then DIRECTLY connected to the ampp) .Do you (or anybody)have any further opinion and suggestion?I would certainly appreciate very much
