I owned a ARC REF 3 pre amp , output imp 100 K , poweramp Sphinx PJ26 , input imp 600 Ohm , at the balanced input . I had a lack of the lower registers , finaly I bought two BAT VK1000 poweramps , marriage in heaven !
Impedance matching with tube amp
I have a Mccormack DNA 0.5 which has an input impedance of 100kohm. I'd like to get the Schiit Saga preamp, which has an output impedance of 180 ohms. Now, I've read about the 10:1-100:1 ratio of input:output impedance for power amps and preamps, so this wouldn't quite fit that range of ratios. Would this still be a good option, and if not, what other (<$500) tube preamp options do I have?
Thanks!
Thanks!
