The Revox A700 and some Philips machines (certainly the N4506, N4515 and
probably others intended to be used with MFB speakers) include phono
preamps but most tape machines don't. You can buy basic phono preamps for
very little money on Ebay which will almost certainly work better than
trying to kludge something together using the mic inputs.
