Hi Lenny

Good. So next question (as Stephane said) - is it a phono preamp=20
(that is, one that will provide RIAA equalisation)? Most vinyl
records are cut with the treble boosted and the bass reduced, so
will sound "tinny" unless you equalise them in the opposite direction.=20
See:

An amplifier with phono inputs will provide that equalisation; an
ordinary pre-amp (such as you might buy for a guitar or microphone)
won't.=20

If the pre-amp does not provide RIAA equalisation, then you can use
Effect > Equalization in Audacity, and choose the RIAA preset. This will
apply the RIAA playback curve, so correct the RIAA equalization in a=20
similar way that the a "home stereo" amplifier or phono pre-amp would
have done.=20
