Line Out - Line In - Line Out - Line In - Line Out


I wonder what would be a proper way of connecting an equalizer to my system. Here is how I think it should be put together:
1. Output from turntable goes into the input of Phono Moving Coil Pre Pre-Amplifier (so-called "step-up" device).
2. Output of Phono Pre Pre-Amplifier (step-up device) goes into the input of Phone Stage which is built-in in the amplifier (it is integrated into the amp...So...the amp is actually has PHONO IN connector).
3. Now I take LINE OUT of amplifer and connect it to input of equalizer. This LINE OUT of amplifier is not dependent on volume control...The signal from this LINE OUT connector is consistly linear).
4. I take OUTPUT of equalizer and connect it to AUX 1 or AUX 2 of amplifier.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks!

Look on the back of your preamp to see if it has tape-in and tape-out connections. But instead of putting a tape deck there, substitute your equalizer. Then select the tape monitor on the front of the preamp to listen to the signal passed through your equalizer.
Connect it to the tape loop of the control preamp and listen through the tape monitor?
If your preamp lacks the capability to monitor a recording while it is being made, then you may safely forget the tape loop idea.
