Unless your preamp or integrated amp has an XLR input specifically for “PHONO” input, you’ll be feeding the turntable’s low level output to a Line Level input, thereby bypassing the internal RIAA EQ filter. This will adversely affect the sound of vinyl. No?

Also, the turntable is outputting a very small signal, which the internal phono stage amplifies. I would think there will be a large mismatch in volume if using the line input rather than the phono input.
