Not if you walk into a real hifi store. Vinyl is still alive & well in a small niche way.

The signal from a standard phono cartridge must go through a phono preamp before you can use it to record. It must be processed with a reverse RIAA curve & then amplified before it has the same equalization & voltage that a normal hifi input (CD, tape etc) has. Those RS units will probably do this - albeit poorly.
