Ah, I was assuming that the RIAA spec included the output levels and
impedance. If you use a phono pre-amp it should take care of both the
output levels and impedance to make it match better for the now-
standard inputs of an amplifier expecting a signal more like you'd
get from a CD player. If you take the output directly from a
turntable without a pre-amp and stick it directly into a sound card
you're asking for really bad sound, even if you can undo the RIAA
curve in software.

I don't think the RIAA spec has anything to do with gain. I don't see where you get that the gain being different would adversely affect the sound unless it was so hot it was distorting.
