Impedance mismatch question


Amp is 23k ohm input impedance. Preamp is 1k ohm output impedance. I have been told that I need at least 50k input impedance on amp or sound will suffer. Can anyone explain why? How will sound be degraded?

If your specs are correct you shouldn't have an impedance mismatch. A 10x ratio of output to input is usually recommended. Search the forum for other threads on this topic for a more detailed explanation.
