sure.
it's actually a pretty good way to hear what the amps colorations are. at least iif you play recordings that are familiar.

thanks man. I have been listening to pantera, opeth, and megadeth a lot lately through my cheap computer speakers, and when i plugged in my dc player to my amp everything sounded so much more beautiful and clearer, but i wanted to make sure it wouldnt hurt the speaker.
To possibly expand discussion, what is impact of home stereo CD player/changer through any bass amp? I've tried two Insignia 5-disc CD changers that normally require home stereo receiver module. Owners manuals never said anything about restrictions on the "output" device (when CD changer/player is plugged directly into bass amp with two RCA plugs - white/red). REsult for me? Near blew my head off, becuase volume was pegged at max in player to bass amp configuration, and no volume control on either device could bring it down. I'm stupid with amplification, but do know I don't want my head blown off. What is resolution, if any? Thanks!!
I run my Mp3 player through two g**tar combo amps so I can practice along with my tunes.
I have been doing this for a long time with no ill effects to either amp. Just make sure you keep the volume levels and EQ under control and you should be fine.

1st of all you can't hurt your amp running cd players through it anymore than can by playing your bass through it. Depending on your setup it may sound good or it may sound like crap but, your surely won't hurt anything.
