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