QuestionHi. Thanks much for the advice. Unfortunately, my problem with these particular receiver/amps (Technics) is that the only line level outputs they have are: "Tape Out" & "VCR Out". When I go from one of these, to the EQ & then back out to any line level input (i.e., "Tape In" or "Aux In"), I have to select that piece of equipment on the amps function selector knob, resulting in only feedback. There's no specific pre amp output/main amp input (like on a Marantz - normally "bridged" with jumpers) on these Technics. Short of using 2 amp/receivers, which is what I'm doing now, I'm still at a loss. Maybe it just can't be done. Think of anything else I might try? Many Thanks, E.G.

RE: Technics SA-GX670 Receiver/Amplifier. Hello. A question for the sake of an old(er) "Baby-Boomer", still trying to enjoy component audio gear of days passed. I'M ATTEMPTING TO INSERT AN EQUALIZER BETWEEN A NON-AMPLIFIED OUTPUT (PRE AMP OUT) & THE MAIN AMP INPUT WITH FRONT VOLUME CONTROL (TONE AMPLIFIER - ?) CONTINUING TO WORK. My Marantz simply had "Preamp Out" & "Main Amp In" RCA connections on its rear panel. Technics/Panasonic - not so simple. If it's at all possible, how?
-----Answer-----
Out from back of receiver goes to IN on the EQ box; OUT on the EQ box goes to main amp in on back of receiver.
If you have a separate power amp, the eq merely goes between the output of the preamp/receiver and the input of the power amps.

AnswerThis model does not have amp direct input? With a jumper between the out and in?
Here is my suggestion; it will cost a few dollars. Just purchase a standalone power amp and connect the eq from the receiver outputs to the input of the eq; the outputs of the eq to the inputs on the new receiver.
You can usually find pretty good amps that are superior to the amplifiers inside the receiver for under $100, depending on the power requirement.

Above are some examples of online choices. Bestbuy, CircuitCity and RadioShack also have some pretty good prices.
