I'm in a similar situation. Tomorrow I will receive a Bent NOH transformer based passive.
Passives don't like sources with high output impedance, but with a solid state phono stage, this won't be a problem.
More important is the gain level of the phono stage.
If you can manage to get a signal which is close to the cd level, you should be fine...
