New audio setup?

Hi guys (new member here) and doing lots of research... Was hoping to get some feedback on the following setup;
Sony PS-X600 with Denon DL-110 High Output MC Cartridge.
Schiit Audio Freya Pre-Amp with Tung-Sol Reissue 6SN7GTB Gain Matched.
Yamaha A-S201 Stereo Amplifier.
Dali Concept 10.

Have I made any noob mistakes?

There is no reason to get two Vidars, one is plenty of power for those speakers.

Schiit makes a great phonostage for $130.

Some integrated amps do have preout/main in jumpers or just preouts, but the A-S201 does not.

2 Vidars would be sweet!

Keep and use the Yamaha as a phono stage through its "tape out" into the Freya.

Yeah, two Vidars running balanced would provide better channel separation and higher S/N. I'll bet there would be a terrific black background.

I appreciate the input guys but seriously confused with all the talk of also needing a phono stage when I already have a preamp (Schiit Freya). Why do I need two preamps?
Roberjerman, interesting idea running through the Yamaha tape out and into the Freya but could you please explain the whole setup?
