Re: vinyl ripping setup help!
Your entertainment amplifier has Phono-In and Tape-Out, right? Connect the turntable to the Phono-In (remember to connect that little black grounding wire). Connect the amplifier Tape-Out to the Mac with one of these.

It's the connection with the thin circle and two black arrows.

That appears as Built-In-Input, Stereo in the Audacity device toolbar.

My sister in Schenectaby has an amplifier where the Tape-Out is broken. In that case, I connected the Line-Out.
