Can I run a CD player & phono w/no preamp


I know I can run the cd player straight to the amps as long as I have a volume control. Can I also run a phono preamp straight to the amps at the same time. I dont want to have to switch cables every time.

Thanks Ozfly, and yes my amps have SE as well as XLR inputs. I guess my question would better be asked as can I connect the CD to one and the phono to the other permanetly.
Unless there is a switch on the amplifier that lets you select which input to use, I don't think it would be a good idea to hook up to both inputs at the same time. Depending on the amplifier input circuit, you may be connecting your CD player and phono preamp to each other in some form or fashion.
You can if you have a Berning ZH-270, since it has 2 inputs and an a/b switch AND a gain control.
