Impedance Matching Question

Most know that the input impedance of an amp needs to be ~10X the output impedance of the preamp for proper matching. Is there an inexpensive device that can be placed between a higher impedance preamp and lower impedance amp to help solve the issue? This is not for critical listening, but I do want it to sound good.

Specifics of the gear being connected, cable type and length would help. It may be possible to simply change an output or input resistor.
It is also possible that with short cable runs, worry is not warranted.
