Equalizer connection question

I need some expert help please. I have cables from the output of my tube preamp to the main in on my Sansui 9090DB. The volume is controlled by the preamp and all is good there. I want to try a Sony SEQ-711 equalizer in the mix but I am not sure about the correct way to connect it. I need advise as to how to do this the correct way. Thank you

Ignore the Tape connections.

Plug the preamp to IN, amplifier to OUT

Even if yo make a mistake you wont' break anything.

Thanks for the fast reply. I have preamp out to equalizer in and equalizer out to main in on 9090db. The equalizer has power but no display bars with music playing. Not sure what is going on. Anyway, thank you.

If your preamp has a tape loop, that's the best place to put the EQ.

If your equalizer also has a tape loop make sure it is not engaged. That could be your problem. BTW I like putting equalizers in the tape loop - if nothing else it allow  you to disengage it without disconnecting it and is less likely to degrade the sound of your system when not engaged.
