Dear fjn04,

a Shindo preamp with - important - 600 Ohms output impedance will work great.
But Ken Shindo has also preamps with a higher output impedance in his portfolio so I cannot answer that in general.
If you look to the specs of your pre and you see something in the region of 600 Ohms (less is no problem) than it is perfect.
The ATM1S with an older Monbrison for example is a dream match - also with an ATM2 - which offers a lot of juice and can drive also more demanding speaker systems, which is different as with the Shindo KT88 amplifiers.
The ATM2 is more comparable with a vintage MC 275 - but in my opinion much more refined and in all parameters in a different range.

So check your output impedance of your suggested preamp and if it fitīs the bill, you will have an amazing match!

Greetings
Ekki
