matched? I thought that was the whole purpose of line level connections.

Or am I missing something here?

Many phonographs don't produce line level outputs.

which is why John seems to have carefully written "if you have an old component system with a line out", but the implication that this would be used for its phono preamp probably wouldn't have been clear to some; a phono preamp will also adjust the equalization, another way records differ from most other audio sources

it's worth noting, however, that some "soundcards" can accept phono levels and do the equalization as well, though from what i've heard they usually do only a passable job at this
