Technics SL1500 phono stage connection

[TK421]

Morning all,
Quick question as I'm looking at purchasing a Technics SL1500 which has an integrated phono stage.
My amp doesn't have a phono connection (Cambridge Audio CXA81) so does this mean that it doesn't need one and the integrated stage on the turntable will suffice?
Thanks

Correct. Just connect to a line in.

Great TT. I went for the model without included phono stage after a Rega P3. Whilst the Technics doesn't feel as nice to use it sounds great and the interchangeable head shells are very useful.

I have a early 2000s Technics 1210 MK2 with an old Technics mixing table SH-DJ1200 which currently serves as the phono stage.
As I'm no DJ, I'm going to replace with the SL1500 which seems to be more plug and play...
