If you have easy access to the rear of your preamp, you can do it with a Y-jack. Connect one turntable channel to the Y-jack female RCA, plug the male ends into the phono input.

Yes, a Y-Jack. That's the name of it. Thanks!

Interesting subject. Once worked (late 70's, early 80's) for a consumer electronics marketing firm in Basel Switzerland which represented (in Europe) many of the brands mentioned here (Phase Linear, AR, Sennheiser, Dual, Thorens, and Audio-Technica) and a few I did not see mentioned (Soundcraftmen, Infinity, Klispch, DBX, BASF, Koss, Audiovox, Hitachi, etc).

My favorite system back then was a mix of Phase Linear, Yamaha, Marantz, Dual, DBX, and Infinity. My system today is Yamaha components with two pair of (well-maintained) fourty-year-old Infinity (Column II) speakers.
