Phono preamp vs no phono preamp


I have a Kenwood KA-701 with 2 phono inputs. 1. Do I need a phono preamp? 2. If the answer is yes or maybe I would consider buying the Schiit Mani and would be hooking it up to a Project dc carbon.  3. What input on the Kenwood would I use?

Thank you

Red is a high output moving magnet and will work fine. If you do buy an external phono pre, wire its output into Aux not into Phono.
