AN Kit 2: Should I Use the REC Out on My Preamp?

I have pre-ordered a Kit 2, and it will probably be used with a Linn Classik Musics (CD + tuner) with a preamp out (with varaible gain) and a tape REC out. I have talked to Brian and have read on the other threads here that using the variable gain preamp out may overdrive the Kit 2, because there is already a preamp stage on the kit.
My question is: with the gain control on the Kit 2, should I be using the REC out on the Linn instead of the variable preamp out?
Or, can I make a "preamp in" input after the preamp stage on the Kit 2 such that I will use the preamp stage on the Linn instead of the Kit 2? I favor this setup but I'm not sure if it will have any negative impact to the sonic performance of the Kit 2, and I am not sure if this can be done at all (I'm totally new in kit building).
Thanks!
