Cary AES has 6db gain or unity.
Not sure of output impedance, but it's very transparent and clean.

Need Help From The Resident Experts
My problem:
My preamp puts out 30db of gain and the output impedance is 1.2K ohms. My power amp input impedance is 22K ohms. I can only use 1/4th of the volume controls (9 o'clock) and it is too loud after that point. What would be the ideal output impedance for the preamp to mate well with the power amp? Components in question are an Audible Illusions Modulus 3B and an Odyssey Stratos Extreme+++. I would like to use more of the volume range and am open to a different pre.
