Using Aux vs CD input on Audible Illusions preamp


I own an Audible Illusions preamp. Read somewhere that it was preferable to plug the CD player into the preamp's Aux input instead of the CD input. I've experimented with both and only notice a difference in gain. Is the Aux input recommended; and, if so, what should I expect to hear?

Bigtee,
Thanks for the explanation. I'll try the tape input. My speakers (Essence Super Gems) have great midrange but are a tad shy in the high frequencies. So my system needs all the help it can get in the high frequency area. Only downside is that the volume pots are now at 7 (on a clock face) and I have to almost stand on my head to adjust the volume for CD play (versus between 8 and 9 when using the CD input). Love this preamp but sure wish it had remote volume control!
