Moving Magnet & Moving Coil Cartridges Question...

Sorry to ask this but I have not found a definitive answer yet.  I have a turntable I got a couple years ago and I installed a Shure Moving Coil Cartridge.  At the time I had a pre-amp that would support it.  I am looking at replacing that pre-amp with an older unit that matches the rest of me Carver equipment but it does not support MC.  If I get an external amp for this situation, which I see online, can I use it in the regular turntable input in the pre-amp?  I believe I am seeing no but again..nothing that seems definitive.  I may have to replace my MC cart with a different one that the pre-amp supports...

Thanks in advance for your help on this.
