I have an external sound card and a tube pre-amp.

I adjust the pre-amp for gain and then I use louder tracks on the vinyl to adjust the sound card while keeping an eye in adobe audition. Once I get the louder tracks recording levels adjusted I usually am able to find my safety zone. I never let anything go in the red but that is preference. I believe once or twice here and there isn't an issue as you can compensate for that later but I prefer to try and limit any digital/software processing by adjusting the hardware so it can do what it is made to do.......

So you are using a computer...sorry, I didn't get that before. :-)

What did you mean by:

"Be careful, it's always a possibility that your receiver may be re-sampling your audio signal."
