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.

Jea48's way is the way I would go.

Almonduck, that would give you two preamps,with extra tone,volume,balance,and more parts if you went from the 2230's preouts to your integated inputs.If it was a "power amp only" inputs,it should be ok. With Jea48's way will use the least amount of stuff. The other way would cause problems you don't need.Jea48 has it right.
