Is it 1KOHM?
Can it be lowered?

No. :) Its about 150R at the balanced output. Actually slightly less. At the SE outputs its practically zero to 100khz.

Hi Russ,

Thanks. Wanted to use it with http://www.diyaudio.com/...fets-21.html#post2738299
and take advantage of the cm rejection of the balanced input. Otherwise, the IVY III would be perfect -but I already have the Legato

You could probably use that amp without any issues, just adjust the feedback resistors upward a bit, I see that it has AC coupled inputs. Hopefully that is optional.

If you are after CM rejection you might try Sympatico. It has the benefit of being fully symmetrical at the inputs and the outputs and is completely DC coupled and has much higher input impedance. It also has the PS built in and local shunt regulation.

Honestly that amp is probably just not a great fit for Legato because of its low impedance asymmetric nature.

I thought the same too. IVYIII is a better fit...

That amp is not going to have "good" common mode rejection with any balanced source because of the asymmetrical nature if it's input impedance. If that is what you are after you should look elsewhere. Acceptable sure. Awesome, no.
