You shouldn't have any problems driving the D-70 with the CAT. Maximum output on your CAT is more like 50 volts which is the same as preamps from Audio Research.
Matching preamp to amp
This probably has been discussed before, but I am wandering how
important it is to match the sensitivity of the amp to the output of
the preamp when choosing new equipment.
I am using a CAT preamp which has about 7volts of output and want to
drive my ARC d70 tube amp, which apparently needs only 0.95 volt for rated
output! What can i expect and is there anything one can do to better match outputs/inputs when this type of inequity applies?
