You must have a phono preamplifier between the turntable and the line in of your computer. The preamplifier has "equalization" circuits in it to equalize the difference between the levels of the high frequencies and the low frequencies as recorded on the record. Without equalization, you will have little or no lows and screaming highs.

Out of curiosity, does anyone make a good but cheap 'un-pre-amplifier' to allow the "phono" input on a stereo to be used for something else?

Hmmm... Thanks much, I thought my Turntable had a built in Preamp but perhaps not. I'll have to visit the local electronics shop I guess. Thanks again.
