The record should be mono (1961), so I'll experiment with the headphone jack and the amp set to mono - output there is on volume control, and I have a suitable cable for that.
Right so does your laptop only have mic in and not Line in..if you only have mic in then it is going to sound rather erm...special...after it has been through all the microphone equalisation. That's assuming you don't wire the connector wrong and send the bias voltage to your preamp and kill it first. Don't connect the ring of the mic connector to anything and I'd probably recommend against using a mono connector in the mic socket.
Check you don't have a laptop with HDAudio as these may have a multimode input socket that can be either mic in or line level in.
