Jburidan, I think you have no impedance synergy issues:-) 
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.

The poster has an ARC LS26, not a Cary.

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

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 according...

I should also share that my system has never sounded this good. The Alexander caps are wonderful. They are extended, open, airy and so transparent. Bass is tight and so fast and powerful. I am thrilled with these and glad I decided to go for them!...

The Duelund Alex caps are sounding much better. I found the issue and this is one to learn from. My SS amp has a very low input impedance while my tube preamp has a relatively high output impedance. Well, I tied another SS amp with 100k input impe... 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Actives also need to be well matched with the amp. My cuurent tube active was a poor match to the Sunfire Signature amp which has an input impedance of 24k ohms.The bass was muted and highs were etched. The Sunfire amp does not sound this way at a... 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Need to look at the voltage output of the source compared to the voltage input needed for the amp - sensitivity rating. This is also very important. An active preamp will be needed if the amp's voltage need is higher then the source's output volta...

Seems to be heating up again. Teajay, you're bold to try and speak for some middle ground on this thread. Many that post here are very reasoned and good folks. Like you have said in several of your recent posts, the issue is not with most of the s... 
Room Treatment for Corners - Recommendations?
Mr_mCan't expect everyone to understand these deeper matters.

Ok, the Alexanders have about another 80 hours on them for a total of about 200 hours. The high are getting much better and the bass is much better. Very strange burn in road these are traveling, but they are starting to sound very good indeed.I w...

Undertow,Understand your point. I guess I am wondering why the bass that was so great after 24 hours has left the room after 124 hours? If the bass does not come back I will agree with you that even this Alexander PIO has weak bass.

Undertow,These are made for electronics? 900V rating and said by Duelund to be perfect as coupling caps? Anyway...Have some bass back, but the highs are still a little thin and bright.The Ampohm PIO's sound great, in fact much better then the Teft...

Fact is I am so upset - "Having such a high level of fustration that I completely forgot to pronounce/spell the first "R" in the word "frustration" :-)
