Hi ... I have a Goldmund VSR-V2 preamp. Spec sheet says output stage impedance < 10 ohms and corrected output impedance ~ 330 ohms.
I'll be driving an advertised total 2012 ohm load not including any added residual load which might be substantial as it will be driving 6 amplifiers, but are all short IC's.
If 10 ohm I should be Ok. Not sure what to do if it will not take load.
Would appreciate you guys help.

So what's the total load on the preamp going to be?
What do you mean by corrected output impedance 330 ohms?
Do you have a schematic?
Remember if there is an output DC blocking capacitor, the bass could be cut off with such a small load,
even if the circuit can otherwise drive it.

Rayma, thx.
Total load as mentioned is 2012 ohm. Info is from manual specs. No schematic and have no idea what corrected means. Not too worried about bass as not playing deep (the apartment says "no".)
If I can use 10 ohms I should be OK. I have no way to test.

Ok, then go ahead and try it, there should be no risk of damage.
You are driving 6 amplifiers in parallel at the same time?

Rayma ...actually 7, but didnt want to scare you.
Good news, thx, didn't want to overload and damage.
Still listing on eBay for $1800. Prob has overload circuit, but not a gambler.

Did have another request. Not sure where to post.
I'll need a good 1 in 6 out rca splitter. All I see are audio/vid ones and some expensive powered ones.

If you can't or don't want to build one, it is just eight RCA jacks in parallel per channel, or 16 total for stereo.
One for the input, and seven for the outputs.
You could use four of these for stereo:
