Al, Very good point about the input impedance of one of those older Krell preamplifiers. Something was bugging me about matching the Krell with a tube phono stage, but I didn't put my finger on it. Yes, the Steelhead has a very low output impedance that could drive 10K ohms.
Musky, The PAM is an old design and was meant to be used with other solid state gear, most of which have very low output impedance. But so too does the Steelhead and probably the Chinook, which is more in the Herron price range, if you insist on buying new only. Check whether the Chinook affords two phono inputs.
