shindo aurieges output impedance and other preamps


Hi everyone

I consider the Shindo Aurieges pre (with my Pass 250 amp). what should I expext from the high output impedance of the shindo (5kohm) with the 22kohm input impedance of the Pass. Is this a match that will probably fail ?

btw

I also consider as pre's:

joule electra la-150
aesthetix calypso
first sound presence
supratek chardonnay

any input ?

thanks to all

The lower priced Shindo preamps as Aurieges and (at least older) Monbrison have 5k Ohm output, the Masseto, Vosne Romanee have 600 Ohm outputs.

What should be the optimal input impedance of the amp for a 5k Ohm preamp output? At least 10 times as much, so at least 50 kOhm, as often recommended?
