Hegel H20 has very low input impedance at 10k , and will need a nice low output impedance active solid state preamp, as most tube and passive preamps will not like the 10k loading.Cheers George

Are Pre-Amps necessary?
vanson1 Are Pre-Amps necessary?With all the advances in digital sources, do we still need a $5,000 pre-amp?All we need is a switching device and maybe a Phono preamp/RIAA curve device. Preamps are a dinosaur left over from the phono days, when s...
