Would Shindo Aurieges L pre work with a Forte 4 am
Looking for a tube linestage to go with my Forte 4a amplifier. Would a Shindo Aurieges L work? Listen mostly to jazz and pop music and main source is a Resolution Audio Opus 21 cd player.
What is the input impedance of the Forte, that could be a problem if it is too low, the Aurieges needs and pretty high input impedance on the amp side to work it best, typically tube amps.
It might work, but not ideal. I would call the importer, it is a pre you have to be careful with on the impedance matching issue. I suspect thought, that it would work.
I've run my aurieges L with a variety of ss amps -- chip-based, class d and class a -- and all between 55k and 47k ohm input impedance. Never had any perceived problems with roll off, etc. the aurieges does have a high output impedance of 5k ohm, so i prob wouldn't go much lower then 47k input impedance unless you know it will work.
