Correct Way to Connect an EQ in my Hifi System ?

My stereo integrated Marantz PM-11S1 amp has Pre Outs , XLR Balanced in/out,  4 different inputs & (2) tape recorder ins/outs ...is there a way to get all my components hitting an EQ without having to switch RCAs? In the old days with my old receiver I used tape monitor , guessing the Pre outs into EQ but where do I input to EQ (2) turntables / Audioengine B1 streaming device...? Or at least the (2) turntables hitting the EQ without switching RCAs?

Tape Recorder 1 Out > In to EQ
Tape Recorder 1 In > Out of EQ
Turned Selector to Recorder 1 and turned on TT w LP - got nothing
I think you should turn the input selector to TT, and push "rec out" button on the PM11S1 front panel to use the EQ.

imhififan, that should do it, if it loops it. Enjoy ! MrD.

@imhififan, so whenever REC OUT is pressed, the EQ is the live source thru the amp, correct? It's functioning similar to the old Tape/Source design.
