RE: Replacing vc with a resistor

What is the output impedance of the source (preamp)?

My rule of thumb would be 10 to 20 times the output impedance.

Above that and there's really no advantage, below that and you will be loading down the preamp and the harmonic distortion of the preamp's last stage goes up.
