Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

The output impedance of the preamp is 1K ohms.........

....using the broad rule of thumb that the input impedance should be a minimum of 20X the output impedance, you get a figure of 20K ohms minimum. 50K ohms would be better still.

Since if the caps are original they would need to be changed, you can easily go up to .47 for the output coupling caps. I have even gotten away with 1.0 with no motorboating. This will improve the drive at the low end.
