I'm a noob to recording so if have a 9-track mixing board do I need a preamp to run a condenser microphone?

A preamp is required for all microphones, and is built in to the mixer if it accepts microphone inputs. The feature required for most condenser microphones is phantom power, a 48 volt signal that is supplied by the mixer to power the electronics inside the microphone. You must use an XLR (three pin) cable to connect the mic to the mixer to provide this power. There will be a Phantom or 48V switch on the mixer to turn this feature on and off.

Could a phono drive be used as an amplifier for a mixing desk?

It's not clear what you mean by "phono drive". If you are asking about using a phono preamp as a microphone or instrument preamp and sending the output of the preamp to the mixer, you will find that the phono preamp has two problems:First, it does not have anything close to flat frequency response. Phono preamps are designed with a strong equalization curve, which compensates for the EQ that is used when high-fidelity recordings are mastered. You will get lots of bass and no highs if you try to run a mic or instrument signal through a phono preamp.Second, you may find that it does not have a lot of headroom. A phono preamp is sensitive and a microphone or instrument could drive it into saturation.For the same reasons, you certainly cannot use a phono preamp as a line-level amplifier in a mixer.If you happen to be asking if you can use a Mod Squad or McCormack Phono Drive as a preamp for a turntable and run the output of the Phono Drive (as line level) into a DJ mixing desk, then the answer is yes, that should work quite nicely (even though the Phono Drive is, in my opinion, an absurdly overpriced piece of gear).
