Fixing up old garage stereo

[What's_nitro?]

That's a nice little project you have there. The stereo in my basement shop looks a lot like that one! Instead of a pre-amp for the mp3 player, why not just leave the volume on the stereo higher? It would have the same effect, ie. you wont need to turn the player's volume up so high.

I want to be able to switch from mp3 to radio without flipping a tit every time when the volume is wayyy to loud.

I was thinking about making something similar to this mint tin amp- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-RHK...eature=related

Looking at that, I think I'll just deal with the volume difference. Either that or if anyone knows how I could use the ipod cable to get power to it so I wouldn't need to worry about the volume being up there...
