I was just wondering at what point to set up an equalizer for a turntable setup. I’m moving into a bigger place soon and will be taking my grandfather’s old equalizer and speakers from the 80s (not audiophile quality I’m sure but it’s free and I can upgrade in the future when I have more disposable income). I know typically you’d have the turntable plugged into a pre-amp, that plugged into an amp/receiver and that plugged into speakers. I tried looking it up online but all I found was either explanations on how to use an equalizer, or people talking about whether a specific equalizer was good or bad. Where in the “chain” of components would the equalizer go? I’m quite new to home theatre setup obviously. The only turntable setup I’ve ever used had an equalizer built into the receiver so that was simpler to put together.

This is my first post here so hopefully this is the right community to ask the question to

Equalizer goes directly after the turntable, then into the pre-amp.
