recording to Reel to Reel from McIntosh 5300 integrated amp

How would I accomplish this? 

If I'm playing source music (which is either from LP, radio, streaming, etc.) from the amp directly to the Reel to Reel for recording on tape, do I connect RCA cables from the pre-amp's "PREAMP OUTPUT" to the RCA recording inputs on the tape deck?

Apologies if this is basic; never done it and I'm confused because the only plausible "output" from the amp is the "PREAMP OUTPUT" which is confusingly located below the word "INPUTS" on the back of the unit. 

Thanks.

I looked at your Mac, playback is no problem.

Recording NO. You wound have to hook the source via cables to your RtR. I suppose you could rig up a switch box.. Not the best idea..

Most of the Mac Preamps are made for tape/phono record/playback..

Tape is one of the things Mac has always supported.

I guess you'll remove the other thread.. You can..

Best of luck
