Ok, I heard from Sweet Vinyl, and there is a way to connect with a built-in phono stage.
From the diagram they sent me, you connect your TT to the preamp's phono stage, then connect your pre's Aux/Rec Out to the SC's Line In. Then, connect the SC's Line Out to the Aux/Rec In of the preamp. My C2300 has a "Server" connection with "Rec" as a secondary label. I'm guessing that's what I should use to complete the connections if I get a SC-1 or 2.
This scenario means 2 extra pair of interconnects, but I won't have to buy any because I have unused AQ King Cobra and Kimber Hero hanging around. Maybe this is doable after all; the question is should I spend the money. No, but I'll consider it anyway.
