Now I understand the Grate parasitic debate and how long standing debates 
become feuds but do we really have a serious debate on the cooling capacity 
of the TL922A ? I thought that the good cooling system almost compensated 
for the "weak" power supply. Cooling has never been a topic of complaint 
with anyone I  have talked to that has one.
just my 2 cents worth and if you figure for inflation.....well you get the 
idea.
