There are inexpensive cables you can buy from Radio Shack to connect 
your amplifier to the "Line In" jack on your sound card.  Make sure you 
specify a stereo cable and (probably) an RCA-type jack.  That is all you 
need to send the audio output to your sound card.

To remove scratches, clicks, pops, and skips, you will have to capture 
the amplifier output in a file and manually edit the file.
I use Goldwave for this but it is a Windows application. I am sure there 
are Linux audio editors out there.
