You really need a phonostage in the chain for a couple reasons. 1) You need sufficient "line level" output signal to drive the HRT "Linestreamer"+. The output from a MM or MC cartridge alone is not sufficient. 2) You need RIAA equalization for the vinyl record before the HRT Linestreamer+. The phonostage will provide sufficient output signal and RIAA equalization.If the phonostage has adjustable and sufficient output level then that might be all you will need.
Otherwise, you can use the phonostage to drive your linestage then take the output of the linestage to drive the HRT Linestreamer+. You should have some way to adjust the signal level going into the HRT Linestreamer+, either using your linestage or a phonostage with variable output.
In my case, I took the signal directly off the phonostage as the output level from my PS Audio GCPH is adjustable.
