Does Running Your Music Sources Through Two Pre-amps Deteriate The Sound ???

67.72.98.82

My 300B SET amp is integrated with a front end preamp. However, it does not have a phono preamp.
As a result, I'm using the phono input on my AI Mod IIIA then out to the tape input on the 300B.
I'm also connecting my CDP to the tape input on my AI Mod IIIA and out to the 300B.
So, I'm using both preamps. I can't determine by listening if there is a deteriation of sound but it seems that there should be. Am I correct?
