Right now I have a set of powered speakers hooked up to a 5 CD changer which happens to have a volume control which is nice so I don't have to set each speakers volume individually. I have just subscribed to satellite radio and I'll be getting an MP3 player.
My question is whether or not there is a component out there with a volume control which will alleviate my problem of having to switch wires from the speakers every time I wish to listen to a different format. Since my speakers are powered, I do not need an amplifier.
Is a pre-amplifier the thing of which I seek?
Thank you for bearing with my ignorance, thank you!
