Hi Scott; I have defintely heard of this being done. What is important here is that the CD player has a variable output controlled by a remote which you have. I would turn the gain controls on the power amp to full. Yes, you do not have a pre-amp as your middleman for this method. Some purists think this is a great way to listen to your cd player. The question here I believe has to do with impedance matching. The impedance from the output of the player I believe is quite different than the impedance from the player going thru a pre-amp.
Heart Rate. An adult catâs heart normally beats 140 to 220 times per minute with an average of 195 beats per minute. Newborn kittens have a heart rate of 220 to 260 beats per minute. To check your catâs pulse rate, put your hand on the inside of the rear leg at mid-thigh. You should feel the femoral artery pulsing near the surface.
Determining Heart Rate. Cats have much faster heart rates than people, so don't worry if it seems like your cat's heart is beating twice as fast as yours -- it probably is. The normal heart rate for a healthy adult cat is between 140 and 220 beats per minute. Anything faster than that could signal a problem. To check your cat's heart rate, press your fingers into your cat's front armpit or hollow between the front leg and the chest until you feel the heartbeat. Count the number of beats in a 15-second period and multiply it by four to get the total beats per minute.
