"Can I use a preamp with MM phono stage for this cart?"
Unless you have an exception like Ejlif and his Whest, you will need to use a MM phono stage. Otherwise, you will almost certainly get a lot of distortion. Being able to use a MM phono pre, in your situation, is a good thing. The less gain you need from the phono stage, the easier it is to get one at a lower price that sounds good.
