Tube Preamp Recommendations?
I'd love to hear either Schiit tube pre amp.  Also check out Linear Tube Audio and the MZ2.   
Schiit Vidar.... Anyone heard one yet?
I would love to hear a system based around a Vidar and a $50 Schiit Sys as the pre.

Matt Miller - Thanks so much for this! 
Impedance matching between 2k ohm phono pre and 100k ohm amps via passive pre
George - You're a Godsend.  Thank you so much!!Sam 
Impedance matching between 2k ohm phono pre and 100k ohm amps via passive pre
But yeah - I see a bunch of phono pre-amps that are less than 100 ohms out, so 2 kilohms does seem like a big difference.

I mean, I'm running this through this Sys passive pre, and the there is plenty of volume.  I'm just wondering if I'm going to damage something...

"This is a low-impedance output (nominally 2 kilohms) that can easily drive any standard vacuum-tube or solid-state amplifier." 
Impedance matching between 2k ohm phono pre and 100k ohm amps via passive pre
"Output impedance:2 kilohms nominal; will drive loads down to 600 ohms with slight loss of output level."Yeah, it's pretty 'hot'.  Gain is only at 9 pm and I have plenty of volume.

George - Thanks so much for your response!It seems this phono pre is a little weird in having 2k ohms out.  Manual does say it can "drive loads down to 600 ohms".  And it has gain knobs I can play around with.  I'll keep playing with it.

Anyways, I really appreciate the help, all!   
Impedance matching between 2k ohm phono pre and 100k ohm amps via passive pre
George - If I'm putting 2k ohm into a passive pre with an input impedance rated at 10k ohm, it means I'm not going to get 100% of the bandwidth? Signal?

The output impedance of the source is 2kohm, so the load it should be at least a 20kohm passive. The the output of the passive will be fine with the 100kohm input of the poweramp. George -Ah ok - that makes sense.  Noob that I am, it did not occur... 
Wright WPP200C Phono Stage-- Info Please
Grinnell. You don't happen to still have a pdf of this WPP200C phono stage manual, do you? I just acquired one from a friend and I'd love to see it.Thanks!
