High output cartridges with high output phono pre

I have a Linn Adikt mounted on my LP12 and I recently aquired a GRADO PH-1 phono Pre. The Adikt has a tremendous output of 6.5MV and the GRADO in HIGH mode can handle from 2.5-4.5MV. Am I putting my system in danger by using this combination? Would you guys suggest replacing the phono pre or the cartridge? I could always sell either/or as they are both BRAND NEW... but I want the best sound quality without spending too much more money!
HELP PLEASE!

thanks, I have yet to hear anything that I would describe as anything but typical record hiss... I hope that with changing back to the K-9 I have been holding onto (since it went out of production) which is a 4.5MV output... it will be a better fit.
thank you for your help!
