- Those are excellent items. I have a great turntable already. Was hoping for a preamp of sorts and a good program to do the transfer. +3

I don't know what kind of advice you're looking for.

I would get all the necessary connections in order to your sound card from the record player. Then I would use Audacity to record the music in raw .wav form. Then I would adjust the sound as needed. Then burn to CD. Ta-da.

- The Phonograph input of an Amp has a preamp built into it. I f i connect the RCA plugs to the MIC or Input jack of my sound board, it is a very weak signal. I can hear it, but it's never going to be CD quality.
  I'm looking for some sort of a Preamp device between the phono and the sound card.

- Aha! Now we get the detail we were looking for. All you need is a portable phono preamp. They used to be available at places like Radio Shack. If you can't find one in a retail store near you, you may want to just use a pre-amp from a stereo and then route the tape out jack to the PC. But you're right - the output of a record player is too weak for a direct connect.

- ah for the days when you could build your own tv set with aheath kit and radio shack parts.

- beware!
  
  The preamp will get the signal so it matched the input jack - but it is still unlikely to be CD quality.

To get good quality audio into your computer you need a decent soundcard!

This should help:

Also as stated you will also need to convert the phono level signal to a line level using a pre-amp.
