pre/power matching?


Sorry to ask, I know this has been answered but cannot locate it. What does one need to pay attention to in the output of a pre to work well with the power amp? Excuse the naivety of the question please. Not very technical here.

1:10 min. ratio output to input impedance. THis is the accepted ratio for minimal impact on freq. response.
Eg: pre out= 100ohms matched well with amp input impedance at 1kohm (1,000 ohms).
My CAT pre ouput impedance is listed at 75 ohms, so will match well with any amp input impedance of 1K ohms and above.
