How to connect Phono Stage from vintage receiver


I want to use my Marantz 2230 phono stage to play records through my integrated amp. Do I connect the preamp in from the 2230 to the inputs to my integrated? Or is there another way like through the tape out? My integrated has a passive preamp section.

IF I am understanding this correctly, you would plug the turntable cables into the Marantz phono, then use RCA cables from the TAPE OUT portion of the Marantz to run into any of the line levels of your integrated.

A preamp IN usually means you are using that unit's power section only, but without seeing it physically it's a bit tricky. Perhaps someone who has actually owned the Marantz 2230 could shed some light.

Just make sure all volumes are zeroed out before turning anything on and then slowly bring up the volume of the integrated.
