Connect Pre-out to Pre-amp

I just got Conrad Johnson LP260SE monoblock amplifiers.

I do not have a separate phonostage. I have an integrated denon X6400H which takes phono input. My question is can I connect the pre-outs of Denon X6400h to  Cary SLP 05 inputs or should I go directly to CJ LP260Ms.

I was originally looking at Cary SLP98 which has a phonostage and then bought SLP 05 which does not have a phonostage. I did not know that SLP05 did not have a phonostage when I bought it. Can I use the phono inputs on Denon and use preouts to connect to SLP05 (any pros or cons) or should I connect the preouts from Denon directly to the CJ LP260. 

Also need some recs for a Phonostage for the above setup.

Thanks

I don't think your Denon has a fixed RCA output so use preout as suggested above.

What is your budget for a phono pre? That would be a better way to go than the Denon phono. What turntable and cartridge?
