Technical Question: Pre Amp into Power Amp


Hi.

I have question regarding output voltage of my Vincent Hybrid SA-T1 Pre Amp. Is that the right term?

I'm wondering if my SA-T1 has enough or adequate juice to be matched up with my Butler TDB 2250 Hybrid Power amp?

I don't know much about these these things, so I am hoping one of you knowledable guys/gals can answer my question and share a little insight on this.

From a technical standpoint, would these two pieces match up correctly?

I've been using my BAT VK-3i Pre Amp with the Butler TDB 2250 and it has worked very well. But I simply want to experiment and see how the Vincent SA-T1 Pre Amp matches up and if there are any differences or improvements.

Here are the listed specs for both pieces of gear:

The nominal output voltage is 2v on the pre. The input sensitivity is 2v to yield 250 w, which is the rated output power. the pre should supply plenty of voltage.
