2 Pre amps: Huge volume difference??


I am testing two pre amps (different models) of the same manufacturer. On one of the pre amps, the more expensive one, I have to increase the volume significantly to get the same volume as the other pre amp. What the heck is going on? My amp seems to be working harder.

Output "impendance" of PRE is mismatch with Input "inpendance" of the amp. Bigger the difference, between the two "imendancie's", better match! Idealy ratio 100:1 (10kohm-100ohm) Good Luck!
