Should be simple but it is not for me.
Bought a Yaqui 23B phono pre-amp simple tubes lot of guys were raving so..
Hook up because the Pas 3X is so tight with RCA jack room and I have a Tuner, cassette for recording, Amp of course the only way I could hook it up is thru the tape which leaves with no ability to use my recording feature which I do several times a week. So with my limited knowledge, if anyone cares to post a reply or send me a email and kick this around would be much appreciated I almost went thru the 5-6 inputs but now I have the phono pre-amp working at the lose of my cassette recording ability. Sorry for the long post.

Look at the back panel photo. An (IMO) obvious upgrade to the unit is replacing the antiquated jack set and source selector switch. Using a nibbling tool, you cut out an opening where the OEM jacks are located. The space is filled with a piece of FR4 PCB material (metal side inside). Modern gold plated RCA females get spaced out on the laminate. Tin the copper, before mounting the new jacks.
Mouser stock # 105-14572 allows you to handle up to 6 sources. Mouser stock # 530-111-2223-001 takes care of providing a proper grounding post, for the phono I/P.
BTW, Neutrik/REAN NYS352(B)G RCA plugs fit tightly spaced vintage jack sets.

Replacing the source selector switch is good advice. I remember mine as having a lot of cross talk from the other sources.
They sound every it as good as the gold connectors and they don't tarnish.
You put them on the outside and you may or may not have to file on the chassis a it.Anyway,there is plenty of room for any size RCA jacks.

First you would not lose recording capability. You can still connect the tape out to your deck regardless of what is connected to the line level tape in they lable as tape amp. This is not to be confused with tape head which like phono and special are amplified low level inputs.
So the unit has four line level inputs. AM-FM, FM multiplex, Spare and as mentioned before tape amp.
So just connect the tape deck as you have to tape out and tape amp. Connect the tuner to either of those you want to use and connect the Yaquin to spare.
Now if you have modern larger RCA cables and run into issues plugging sets of cables in to jacks next to each other there are ways around that too.
Several RCA connectors today are narrow enough to allow you to use all of the Dynaco jacks on the back.
I've made that pre sound better and other pre's with those AC plugs on the back not just by not using them but actually disconnecting them. They are a noise antenna. Easy tweak.

OK Awe-D, so what specs would I look for in a RCA Jack that would be thin enough to use all the line level RCA jacks and get rid of those bulky ones I now am using I mean I saw cables for 10-15 dollars from Amazon.com they appeared to be be thiner then the ones I am using now and the write up about insulation, standed cable wire?, I know nothing about cables other then I am not going to spend a lot of money that can go towards LPs when I am on my way to finishing this set up got the Bozak 4000's crosssovers rebuilt, amp working fine,(well one of them) TT cart and belt ordered.
Thanks for the help Awe-D and all at the forum. Lot of knowledge here.
Do you need made cables or can you put on RCAs on cables you have?
