Amplifier Input Impedance

help me out here, what is 1/10th of 100kohms?
Audiolabyrinth

that would be 100KOhms = 100,000 Ohms divided by 10 = 10,000 Ohms or 10KOhms.

The general principle here is that when the output impedance of the preceeding unit is 1/10th the input impedance of the proceeding unit, the output impedance of the preceeding unit has little effect on the (music) signal transfer - you get 90%+ of the (music voltage) signal to transfer & there is (very) little loss.
hope this helps.

This did help, Thankyou Bombaywalla.

I notice on my set up ,
Preamp : Reimyo output impedance is 560 ohm ,
Power amp: AES superamp AE 25 input impedance is 150,000 ohm .
This gives ratio of 267 times . Does it mean I have a total mismatch ? But I find my system sound very sweet , detailed and enjoyable .
I am no expert on such things , so will appreciate some explanation from FM s here .

Absolutely not! The 10X rule is a MINIMUM suggested requirement. Some manufacturers, like ARC, recommend a 25X to 30X MINIMUM impedance relationship. Obviously, the higher the ratio, the less likely there will be an impedance mismatch issue. Which should help explain your wonderful results.
