But after looking at the "Love Kitten" article referenced at the link below, it appears your output impedance of 150 ohms is lower than the original. A preamp with a low output impedance should work well with many power amps. How well depends on the input impedance of your amp. Some believe that a mismatched preamp output impedance where it's not at least 10x or even 100x lower than the input impedance of your amp will give poor transfer characteristics and will sound "light weight". I've read others who discount this so-called impedance mismatch behaviour. In the end, it's worth trying it with your parts on hand and seeing how well you like it. Tweaking a resistor or two is cheap and easy after you get done to see if it's makes much difference. But you've got to realize whatever impedances your preamp exhibits, how well it works depends particularly on which source you use and and what amp your feeding.
