Amp preamp impedance matching...can anyone explain?


Hi, I currently have vintage tube gear, but want to try a SS amp with my tube preamp, and may try a SS preamp with my tube amps. I have noted there is an impedance matching issue, but do not understand it. Can anybody provide a quick summary?
Thanks
Jim

Sorry for reviving this important thread.

In the posts above, we see conversation about output impedance of (tube) preamps that have a coupling capacitor (the fact that, most likely, the output impedance shall be highest at 20Hz).

What about impedance matching for tube preamps like the VAC Renaissance Mk V that have transformer coupled output (and input) stages?
