keep in mind the RIAA curve requires 60db of filtration (or gain), so if you try this method record at 24bits and good equipment to maximixe your dynamic range.

preamp, run the preamp into JAMin using the RIAA EQ curve (included in
the examples directory), record with Ardour or other JACK enabled
recorder.
