Help please. The volume control on my 42.5 reaches full volume at about 1/5 of its travel. How do I reduce the input signal from my CD without degrading the signal. I am happy with a soldering iron!

I thought this might help someone, somewhere, in trying to get the Naim tuner magic into their system. After a protracted period of experimentation with a Ron Smith G 17, which I had professionally mounted to my roof, I was not able to get sufficient...
