Phono preamp question

I'm slowly trying to upgrade my vinyl system to something that could be considered moderately decent, not necessarily high end. I have an older full feature preamp and am thinking in getting a separate phono preamp. I'm assuming the phono preamp would need to be connected to one of the line inputs. Would my preamp be the weak link if I get a good phono preamp to use with my existing preamp? Can a phono preamp be connected directly to the amplifier? FWIW, the preamp is an Adcom GTP-750. Thanks.

To drive your amp with a phono preamp it would have to have enough voltage and gain with a volume control. This is the kind of phono preamp you would need to drive your amp directly. BTW,my friend uses that EAR with no preamp. I tried my Quicksilver phono preamp going into my amp and I could not get any volume. If you get a phono preamp you would plug it into any aux input on the Adcom!
