I made the purchase of a new(used) amp and was wondering how well my 970 output impedance will match up to the input of the new amp. unfortunately i couldnt audition the amp first but did get it for such a good price i couldnt resist, not to mention it still has 4 yrs left on the transferable warranty.

the 970 manual says:
Output Impedance(main-RCA) <600ohms

the new amp is listed at:
• Input Impedance:
Unbalanced - 23.5kohms


what does that mean? greater than 600, does that match a 23.5k? gonk can you explain this please?

i had read allot about impedance mismatches in gear that can cause a total lack of synergy in a system in the past, and am now trying to predict some results by specs.

also does anyone know what the output gain is structured like on the 970? the amp manual shows an input gain of 32db which seems high to me....

thanks in advance
