220 ohms (balanced) into 10K ohms should be absolutely no problem. Why do you think it might be? Who recommended 1:100 ratio? Typical recommendation is 1:10, minimum. Also, are you taking into account the input impedance of the Bryston in balanced mode? Because it might be 20K ohms, not 10K. Bryston are not very forthcoming about stating the input impedance of their high level inputs, but after downloading the owners manual, I did see that the TAPE IN input, which is single-ended, has an impedance of 10K ohms. This suggests that the balanced inputs would be in fact 20K ohms.
Solid State Phono Preamp Suggestions $3k-$4k
Any recommendations on a solid state preamp in the $3,000 - $4,000 price range new?
I have yet to purchase a TT so I'm flexible on that and cartridge but leaning towards a VPI Scoutmaster with Orotofon Cadenze Bronze cartridge. The limiting factor is my Bryston BP26 preamp which has an input impedance of only 10k ohms.
