Most line-level impedances are 600-1000 ohms. Tube amps input impedances are 50kohms to 100kohms. Should work well. Some solid state amps as low as 10kohms inputs .... not as much gain and frequency response issues if the nominal impedance rises sharply in the bass (as sometimes is the case). Tube amps should be a decent bet.
Reel to reel deck directly to power amp ?
Thinking about my totally new future system. The main source is going to be reel to reel deck, most likely Otari two track, possibly Studer A810. I will keep the turntable and run the phono thru deck. So I will need only one input, decks have volume control and preamp. I don't think I will need separate preamp. Do you ?
Power amps could be both transistor and tube, maybe even hybrids - Lamm, as an example, would very much depend on speakers. Don't know what speakers, could be as different as Harbeth and Kharma.
