I use these current sources in my Trio phono preamp in the input stage, so I can write from experience about them being quiet enough.
It is possible to take the output as you describe, but I have no idea what sort of output impedance this produces or what the frequency dependence might be. You can measure output impedance easily by capacitively coupling a 5K potentiometer between the output and ground. First, with the potentiometer disconnected and a signal on the grid of the input stage you are testing, measure the output voltage. Then connect the potentiometer between the output capacitor and ground with it set for maximum resistance and adjust the resistance downward until the output signal is half of what the open circuit output signal that you measured earlier was. Then take the potentiometer out of the circuit without disturbing the setting and measure the resistance of the potentiometer. This value is the output impedance of the circuit being measured.
