Is this what I need to plug an older turntable into a new receiver/amp that does not have a phono jack? When I plug in AUX, there is no sound.

Yes. It's a fully functioning pre-amp.

how do i know which capacitance option to use (100pf or 200pf)?

You can't "hurt" anything with any of these settings. Of course, you want to use the 'phono' or direct output of the turntable, not the 'line level' or amplified output. just try the 100pf (I think this is more 'standard') and listen for a while. Then try the 200pf setting and see if it sounds better. I think the effects would be mainly small, possibly none.

does this unit have an on/off stwich?

There is no on-off switch. The unit draws very little power from its wall-wart power supply which would remain powered-up even with the unit switched off. I recommend leaving it on or controlling it along with the other audio equipment. Powering it up while monitoring its output results in a loud "thump."

This phono amp Does Not have 2 inputs....

No it does not. 1 input (I have my turntable plugged in) and 1 output (plugged into the mic jack of my PC). I use this device to burn my vinyl to mp3. I like this method MUCH better than the USB devices available.

Decent phono preamp / pre-amplifier

Nicely fits the purpose.Does not cost an arm & leg! Good to start with before taking a leap in any other more expensive phono pre-amplifiers.No harm in getting this one if you wish to have stand by ones and would like to toy around with options.
