Strangely, Jeff Rowland increased ICEpower module input impedance from 10k to 40k by adding extra amplifier board on my model 102 amplifier but released brand new all his design model 625 that has only 10k input impedance. Does he know something we don't?
Impedance Mismatch ???
I have to say I`ve never ever even considered trying to make sure various components are matched impedance wise.
But I came upon a thread where it was said that the output impedance of the Preamp should be 10 times less than the input impedance of the Amp.
So out of curiosity I look up what my Preamp and Amp has for those numbers.
The Preamp shows 100 ohms output and the Amp input shows 33K.
What am I supposed to be hearing if there is something awry ??
I`ve been listening for a few years to this combo and I like what I hear,BUT, am I unknowingly compromising the sound or performance somehow ?
