<<Another way to get the power output down from the Ranger, is to replace the 
6146 with a 2E26. Everything is the same, except for half the dissapation.
Then, don't load the final stage as heavy.>>

Just a curious question here... Why bother replacing the 6146 with a 2E26 if 
everything besides the plate dissipation is the same?  Why not just load it 
lighter?  There shouldn't be any difference the way I see it.  Comments?
