Yes, unfortunately you do have to run the pickup through a phono preamp.
There are 2 popular ways of doing this:
1. Use an old receiver that has a phono input and a tape output. The main
problem is the space the receiver takes up, and the possible introduction of
EM pickup because the receiver is so close to the turntable.
2. Buy a separate phono preamp. I bought mine from www.mcminone.com. The
part number is 50-7770, and it cost me $20, on sale. It uses a wall wart,
so there's no hum problem.
3. Software? There's a ton of it on the market. I record using Waverepair
and edit using CDwave.
