Monitoring a tube amp Jolida or ASL

I am considering an integrated tube amp (i.e. Jolida 302 or Antique Sound Labs AQ1003. One of the problems I am trying to overcome is that my better half wants the ability to make tapes from other sources (i.e. CD). These integrateds only have 'Heavy duty Gold Plate 5 way speaker posts'. I've already overcome the hurdle of using a Niles switcher for more than one non-audio input into the system. Does anyone have a recommended way to set this up?

I may have not been clear in the title.

I think you can order a tape loop as an upgrade on the Jolidas. Not sure about ASL.

Thanks Mattman, Can you fill this novice in. What does a 'tape loop' consist of?

There will be a rca input and output on the back of the amp. You will be able to "loop" a tapedeck through so you can make recordings. The Jolida dealer I spoke to said it was a $90 upgrade to add this feature. This was a couple of years ago so the price might have changed or it may no longer be offered. Any Jolida dealer should be able to let you know. Good luck!
