...as a general rule, the output impedance of the preamp should be at least ten times lower than the input impedance of the amp at ALL audible bandwidths.I'm happy to see Raquel specify the importance of ALL audible bandwidths. Many people mistakenly use the 10x output impedance in relation to a preamp's nominal output impedance, when in fact it's very important to consider a preamp's highest measured output impedance for application of the 10x rule of thumb.

VAC Ren Mk III / Sig mkII Preamplifier with SS Amp
Does anyone have experience using a VAC Renaissance Mk III or Signature Mk II Preamplifier with a high power SS amplifier? ie: Krell, Pass ...
According to the output impedance spec of the preamps, there shouldn't be a problem but I like to hear from real life experiences.
Thanks!
