preamp into integrated amp yes/no?

I have an Ayon Triton III. I also have a Conrad-Johnson PV7. Any benefit to hooking them together?

Then the turntable would connect to the PV7 and the PV7's tape/rec output would connect to an input on the Ayon. This should avoid the overload problem that Bob pointed out.

The phono stage provides RIAA equalization and extra gain that is required for the cartridge.
