What does "pre out" rca output do?


Hello all;

I just received my cj sa250 power amp and I would love to try it, however I don't have a preamp yet. I do have my trusty musical fidelity A2 integrated amp. The back has 2 rca jacks that say "pre out", does that mean I can use the A2 as a preamp? Can I plug in my CD, tuner, phono into the A2 and then plug the A2 into the sa250? I don't want to ruin anything of course! I also have a parasound zphono, could I plug the output into the sa250?
Thanks!!

Thank you all so much!! Especially the info about the zphono, now that I think about it, I see how there is no volume control. Unfortunately I don't have my manual, it got lost somewhere in the last 10 years.
This is just a temp measure until the pre comes on Thursday.
