A preamplifier system is provided for connection through an interconnect to a read head. The interconnect has a characteristic impedance associated therewith. The preamplifier system includes an amplifier circuit having an input for connection to the interconnect. The amplifier circuit amplifies an input signal carried from the read head through the interconnect, yielding an amplified input output signal. A feedback resistance is connected between the amplified output signal and the input of the amplifier circuit. The feedback resistance has a value selected to provide an effective input impedance of the preamplifier system to match the characteristic impedance of the interconnect.
