Where to Connect a Phono Preamplifier into a Line Stage

Quick question
When connecting a phono preamplifier into a regular linestage do you go directly to an input like "CD" AUX 1, AUX2, etc.

Thanks

He is referring to pre-amps with a "Direct Input", that pair of RCA’s bypassing any and all controls except for volume/level. ARC is one company who have made pre-amps with that feature (my LS-1 does, as did the LS-2 I once owned).

Not needed or desirable for phono playback.
