Have I mismatched my preamp/amp?

Thanks for the response, but I did not mean I did not like my amp. They sound excellent. I was looking to warm them up a bit. When I said they were brutally sharp, I should of been more expressive, they reproduce the music on the sharper side, I like a tad of warmth, I figured I would be able to warm them up with a nice tube preamp.

So, I gotta say this is a great site. I send tim rawson an email and he responded,and it was a good response. He said typically it should be either 100k ohms or minimum 47k ohms input impedence on his amp, all nicely above the 10:1 or 20:1 ratio. I suppose I'm in good shape.

Well, thanks for all comments! I have not received the Cary yet, so I can't share my listening results, I will when I receive the pre of course. I know my ears are the ultimate judge.
I looked up the Pass Aleph 2 specs online and the low impedance was correct. However, Tim corrected me for his clone. Almarg; I thank you personally for that detailed explanation. I somewhat understand what your saying, basically where it needs the "headroom" it has it and should be fine. The cable runs are < 1 meter, so pretty short.
As for the "respect" comment; I was a) under the same understanding of what Marakanetz wrote and b) believing in a) allows me to enjoy the Pass sound within what I can afford.

Holy mackerel! What a wonderful education for me and I'm sure others regarding Nelson Pass's contribution to audio. Not being an electrical engineer I honestly have a tough time following a lot of the technical discussion. I've read a lot of what Nelson wrote, but again, most of it goes right over my head. I know I heard a Pass Aleph 0 years ago and loved the sound. When I had an opportunity to purchase his design, I did, at a cost I could afford. I felt and still do, the clones are more a labor of love, just by the cost being so low. More towards, pay for the parts, labor, etc. and here you go. No one has started a Pass Clone Company, its a few that basically we here pass around to each other. I thank everyone for contributing.

OK, received the Cary and took a long long listen. As the ears are the true test, hear goes (pun intended); did what I wanted it to do. Before the sound was what I considered sharp and I did not hear the space between sound. When I qued up Cowboy Junkies "Trinity Revisited" well honestly I've listened to it since it came out 4 or so years ago and never heard it before! The space between Margo's voice is palpable, the harmony, and Natalie's voice is breath taking. The sharpness has been replaced with rich thick sound, clear, but smoother. I have telsa tubes in and have ordered some more, just to play. I'm very happy with the outcome, so thanks for the opinions, comments and slight moral dilemma.

Pubul57; Nicely said my friend!
