A 1 k ohm load is to much for most equipment, only a handful of high end sources/preamps can handle that amount of loading without audible distress or poor overall sound.For most preamps sources, a 10 k ohm load is all they are comfortable with, and some tube units can not even handle this amount of loading.
The lowest I would go with a known output device, say one capable fo a nominal 600 ohm loae drive, would be 2.2 k ohms, and for most other unknown output stages, no lower than 4.7 k ohms.
