I think the question is more, "how low should the output impedances
of my gear be?".

And, all I can say is "as low as possible", and I think that (to a first
aproximation) pickup of radiated noise would be directly proportional to the 
impedance.

The output impedances must, in general, be heaps lower than the imput 
impedances, or your signal will be cut down anyway.
