The problem of using tape/aux out for vinyl records is that the sound will
not be correctly balanced. Vinyl records are engraved with reduced bass
levels and increased treble levels. Therefore in the days of  LP's the
amplifiers had a circuit that corrected for this (RIAA pre-amp). You need a
moving coil or a moving magnet pre-amp, depending on your record player
pickup.
