It is potientially harmful for my tube integrated and tube phono-pre by using this setup? I love the fact that I can blast music when it's needed. I understand that using MM gain with MC cart is acceptable, but I've never heard anyone using my setup. Anything helps.
Thanks

I Did this inadvertently not so long ago, While I could not discern any obvious gross distortion, It kinda sounded like listening to someone else's car stereo...when your not in the car !.You know the looming Doof! Doof! Doof! sound, of Multiple 300kW (PMPO of course), 20 inch woofers, pumping away as if their life depended on it, turned up so far that the doors of the twenty year old shitbox of car containing it are flexing in unison.
God that makes me sound old, but I enjoyed the little "vent"
Basically, what I am trying to say is, I got Lotsa Bass, and very little else.

I went to a restaurant that serves "breakfast at any time". So I ordered French Toast during the Renaissance.
they don't have any suspension, they're designed to drive the doors to flex to produce sound.
If you have your MM cartridge connected to your MC input, chances are good that additional loading is reducing its output. This will normally alter frequency response by attenuating high frequencies and providing a more bass-heavy sound. On the other hand, if it sounds okay through your MC input, it will probably not damage anything.
As long as the MC stage has a high enough overload margin so that the MM input, usually 10x the typical MC, doesn't overdrive it, there should be no problem, other than most MMs are designed for a 47K loading and most MC stages do not offer that loading, more usually 100 Ohm-1 kOhm.
