[plug] Altering Gains on Multiple Audio Files

[Kev]

You can purchase, from Jaycar, a neat little pre-amp (model# PA-928 - 
RIAA I think is the standard) for, from memory, about $16.00.  Inputs 
are switchable between phono and aux.  There is also a similar item 
available in kit form from Altronics.  Such a device might just do what 
you want. 

Cheers
Kev
