Hello All...

I know that I want the lowest impedance possible and I've found a tube circuit that I'd like to try and the impedance is 60 ohms. I was wondering if the Buffalo would behave in current mode with this load?

There is no magic number that converts the output from voltage to current. :)

The only thing that really makes and ideal load for a current source is a dead short. So as close to 0 ohms as practical is what you want. 60ohms is far from that. :)

At 60 ohms it will still be a voltage source, it will just modulate exactly 60ohms worth of voltage for the given current swing.

Thanks Russ...

I'll try the tube circuit and I'll pick up a Legato to see what I like better.
