Using two preamps together to use the phono on one

Can I connect two preamps together so as to use the phono-stage only on one of them? I'm thinking about buying a better preamp to match-up with my Mcintosh 7270 power amp. However, many preamps and multi channel processors don't have phono-stages. I have an old NAD 1130 preamp that has a nice phono-stage, but can I connect it to the Aux of another preamp? Or does the preamp need a "Aux/ph" input in order to work??

Yup, tape/record out to line level input.

I just ran through this exact scenario last night looking at possible pre-amps for my second system.

I'm currently using an old NAD 7020 receiver as pre-amp and use an old Dual 1264 on occasion with it. I also have a spare vintage Yamaha receiver with phono I might use.
