That amp has a selector switch on the rear for 10k fixed and 100k variable.
I've tried a LOT of preamps setups and never quite got the 10k to sound "good to ME". However the circuit on the 100k variable has a buffer built in so it can act as it's own preamp.
If your source has at 1-2 volts output, the 275 has the buffer circuit and plenty of gain to do the rest. And do it better than a preamp I might add.
I'm no engineer but I think 10k is just too low of an input and makes matching a proper preamp VERY difficult to impossible.
Get the amp and let it burn in for a few hours. At first it will sound beamy but that will fad - honest! Try it with the variable input only first and then a few preamps if you have them. If you like it with the variable then just go for the Placette and save yourself a bunch of money, trouble and time because I already did the leg work for you.
