INPUT/OUTPUT IMPEDANCE


Hello pro's,

I don't want to over think this, but I just pulled the trigger on a power amp rated at 10k(RCA) 15k(XLR) input impedance. Problem is I don't know the output impedance of my pre/pro(Marantz av7705). I looked everywhere and even called Marantz. My gut tells me all is ok...or is it!  I know you should be within the 1/10 ratio. So, does it make much difference whether your 1/10 or 1/100 ratio?

Thanks,
Anthony

If you know you should be within the 1/10 ratio, then congratulations, you have somehow managed to retain useless information I have long since forgotten. At my advanced age I can only dimly recall it seemed to matter once. Long ago. Maybe. Dunno. No. Yeah I am sure now. I did think it was important enough to think about. What I cannot for the life of me remember is how many years of it not actually mattering it took before I started to forget why I thought it ever mattered in the first place. Sorry. Did you say something about over thinking something?
