Impedance Matching Preamp/Amp Assiance Pls?


I'm looking to purchase a Cary SLP-05 that has an input impedance of 100k Ohms (XLR) and a gain of 27db. My Spectron MK2 has an input impedance of 50k Ohms using the XLR inputs (which I use).

What is the consequence of using the Cary with the Spectron regarding its compatiblity relative to the impedance and gain specs? Any issues I should be aware of?

Thanks in advance for your comments.

Nick , the rule means that the input impedance of the amp should be 'at least' ten times greater than the output impedance of the preamp . More is fine .

Happy tunes .
Mitch2 ; very useful info on the varying impedances . I learned something today , thank you .

Happy tunes .
