Presumably the "small pre-amp" has RIAA equalization. Otherwise you
will have an interesting signal-processing problem.

Seriously, though, it's just an amplifier. It
shouldn't matter
what you're running through it. The signal will be analog only,
of course, so no SPDIF without a converter.
I'm about to experiment with hooking a 20 year old Technics
turntable up to my B/W G3 using a small pre-amp between them. It'll
allow me to convert all my old vinyl to MP3 as well as provide a
means of listening to any vinyl without having a full stereo stack
sitting here. The line-level input on the Mac ought to pass the
signal on out to the Harman/Kardon Soundsticks without a problem.
