I see the opamps are being run in class A and I could heatsink the chips to allow for the extra heat if necessary. It will save me $40 in parts if there is no other impediment. |

Thermal crosstalk will reduce performance. I admittedly do not have any experience with the LM6172 though and I do not know have large the differences are. You have to try for yourself :-) Cheers, Jan |
