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?

If you exchanged your integrated for a Yamaha or other power amp you could use the Freya. But then you'd still need a phono preamp (phonostage) for the TT.

Ok, so if I changed the Yamaha A-S201 for the Schiit Vidar this will work well?
Then I could add a second Vidar later when funds permit for a balanced setup yeah?

Yes, that sounds like a plan. The Vidar should be able to drive your speakers no problem. And two Vidars (monoblocks) will make a very good system.
  You still would need a phonostage for the TT.

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!
