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.

TT >>> to Marantz phono input >>> Tape out of Marantz >>> to line in input of integrated amp.

Marantz receiver input selector set to phono for tape out.

Make sure volume control on receiver is turned all the way down to protect receiver amp.

Almonduck,

Something else you may want to try,... reversing the non polarized plug of the marantz 180 degrees in the electrical receptacle outlet. One direction should be quieter than the other.
