   What kind of audio connectors are used? A set of computer speakers with an   
   earphone jack would work, if your adapter uses 1/8" stereo headphone   
   connectors. Turn the volume way down, before turning it on.   
      
   Those mag phono preamps had the gain set to match the expected level of a   
   cheaper cartridge. Some cheap cartridges put out up to 2V P-P. I used one over   
   45 years ago to bring the level up on the Network feed at a Military radio   
   station. That allowed a    
   simple switch from local to network without adjusting the gain at every   
   switchover.
