I have on the back of my amp typical standard RCA input connections such
as Aux, Tape, CD, Phono, etc.

I also have a PC computer, and I like listening to MP3s which I listen
to by using a lead going from my PC soundcard going into the back of the
amp - it's currently plugged in to the Aux connection.

But does it make any difference if I plug the PC lead in to any of the
other amp connections, like Tape, or Phono, or CD, etc?

You don't say which amp you have. For most amps I'd assume the inputs are
similaR *but* with the possible exception of any input called "Phono" or
"Disc" which might be for a cartridge for replay of LPs. If so, avoid using
the "Phono" input as it would not be suitable for other purposes.

Are these amp input connections the same, or do they differ subtely
perhaps?

See above. Details depend on which amplifier you are using.

Another issue I've thought about is - where do I plug my DVD audio into
my other amp used for the TV - this amp's (it's not an AV receiver btw)
got no specific DVD input, but it has got an Aux input, as well as Tape
and Mini-disc. Does any one know which would be the most appropriate
input connection to plug a DVD in to?

Probably does not matter a lot, but "Aux" is the logical choice. Again, to
be more sure, we'd need info on the amp, etc.

Slainte,

Jim
