volume setting for ipod mini hooked to integrated

whe you put the ipod in the ipod base and connect the headphone jack to the base, it outputs a "line level" signal which is what you want. then you dont have to worry about the volume setting

In the stereophile review of the ipod they claimed that the base's line out much of much highter quality that the sound from the headphone jacks. i personally have my ipod connected in that manner and find it to work wonderfully. as for being connected to the A/C i think you shouldnt worry about some sort of extension cord for plugging in the ipod, as its electrical draw from the wall is very low, so the extention wouldnt degrade sound quality
