IMHO, the best way to interface your computer sound card to a stereo
system is by using an amplifier that has tape input and output, and
hooking up the sound card as if it were a tape recorder (i.e., using
the "tape in" and tape out" jacks). You still won't be able to monitor
your source, because when you flip the "monitor" switch on the pre-amp
you are connecting the sound card's input to its output, but you
probably could if you installed an isolation amp of some kind (perhaps
a cheap mixer) between the sound card's output and the "tape in" jack
on the pre-amp.
You can do that, but connecting the sound card's line in and out to the
receiver's tape in and out would be no different than connecting a tape
recorder that way, so you _could_ use the monitor switch if you wanted to.
The phono signal would still go to the sound card while the sound card's
output would go to whatever speakers or headphones are connected to the
amp. This would be useful to monitor whether some other process on the
computer makes a noise while you're trying to record, but wouldn't be
functionally any different than using a simple phono preamp between the
turntable and soundcard and listening via the computer's speakers.
