very dumb question

I have a question that probably a little stupid.  I am upgrading my turntable.  In the past I was using Project RPM III with a different amp.  Now I have moved to Prima Luna Dialog HP Integrated without phono stage. I have purchased Rega RP6 with exact cartridge and to get the phono stage I bought the Rega Brio-R.  This is an integrated amp with phono stage but I am basically just using it for the phono stage.  Wanted to keep Rega with Rega as for TT and phono stage.  Can i then input into the Prima Luna with the now amplified signal?  Is that going to make sense?

Thanks in advance

I have two systems with turntables ... one system has the Rega Brio as its power source and the other has a PL Prologue 5 power amp paired with a Musical Fidelity CD PRE 24 preamp with a Schitt Mani phono amp.  Previously, I tried using an old Adcom GTP 500II preamp and a Parasound Z-phono preamp with the PL.  

To my ears, the Schitt Mani is better than the preamp section in the Brio and the Adcom and Parasound.  You can set-up the Brio as dekay outlined, but I doubt that you will be wild about the Brio to PL combination.

As you gathered, I am not that thrilled about the Brio's phono section.  I might be tempted to get the PL phono card for $250.  The Schitt is a no brainer at $150.

If we could still buy the Advent 300 receiver (new) assuming the same quality level it was back then, we would not need 1/2 the stuff being made these days.  What a honey of a receiver.
