Hi Keith, I have never used groove Mechanic, so I can't tell you anything about it! I use Gold Wave and it is very accessable and it has a pop and click filter that works well if used sparingly!
As far as Pre-amps, Radio Shack used to sell one, though I don't know if they still do, but any pre-amp designed for a magnetic phono cartridge should work just fine! HTH: J. J.
