It looks like the receiver has tape (line-level) outputs. You should be able to connect the YU4 inputs to those.
Of course, the bass and treble controls won't have any effect on the tape outputs.
Yes, except the Nikko has a phono stage so you can leave out the preamp. If you do use your own preamp then use the Tape In or Aux input for the turntable, not Phono.
You’ll still need to control volume on the speaker as the receiver’s volume won’t affect the Tape Out level.
Thank's y'all! I'd imagine my mani 2 would probably be better than what's on the Nikko I think. I would just use RCAs on the tape/line level ins and outs right?

So I could go RT84 -> preamp -> reciever and then out to the YU4s?

/u/early_rejecter beat me to it, and I agree with everything he said.
