Preamp for Pass

I just looked it up. If the poster is using the RCA jacks, then the ARC LS26 as an output inpedance of 20k ohms. This will be a big issue, poor match, with the Pass amp.

If he uses the balanced outs, then all is fine.

George is right in fact experience has shown me the input impedance of the amp should be at least 10x higher than the output impedance of the preamp or the sound will not be right or all it could be.

Check the specs of your amp and search accordingly. Please let us know the specs of your amp and pre in terms of impedance. Very important.

Just need to know the spec on both before we can make a determination.

The poster has an ARC LS26, not a Cary.

Pubul57,

You're correct as I misread the spec sheet on the site I found.
