Marantz 3200 into a Dynaco ST-150

[Kingpin5]

Having a brain freeze.

Can a Marantz 3200 Stereo console preamp be jacked into a Dynamo ST-150 amp without fear of damage to either?

Thanks

I don't see why not. As far as damage, you can overdrive pretty much any power amp/speaker combo so just use normal caution when cranking up the volume.

Input spec for the Dynaco ST-150 states "The amplifier's nominal load impedance is 35,000 ohms. The input sensitivity is 1.0 volt for full output."

The Marantz 3200 output (the PRE OUT jacks) are rated as "Output Impedance = 600 ohms at 1kHz, Output Voltage at Rated THD (0.05% at 1kHz) = 3 Volts, and Maximum Output Voltage = 7 Volts at 1.0% THD".

Thank you, my friend. The voices inside my head said it was OK, but sometimes you need someone else to look at you and and say, 'Uh Yeah, you read it right'. Thanks
