I aspire to be a Sissie, too I have a few projects already in the hopper - J is 3rd or 4th on the list, behind the VFet2, M2, and something else will likely pop up by then...
You will love M2. One of the largest surprises for me was AlephJ. 6L6, when he had group buy some while back, insisted I should try this one. Bought it, assembled boards and kept them. One day not long ago, I 'decomissioned" the F6 and installed the Aleph boards and outputs.
Wow...shouldnt have waited so long. I'm probably doing same thing with my Vfet kit....and my J2 parts collection! They rest.

I'm proud to be a sissie, and hapy to suggest people become sissies as well!!
This is why.
A bought F6 is driving the bass. The Aleph is overshadowing it, significantly.

F6 isnt my favorite Firstwatt. AlephJ and M2 outperform it by no small margin in my humble opinion.
Happy sissie here too,

I do seem to prefer the M2 and Aleph-J over the F6, though it may come down
to mood and individual taste.
But really, what a wonderful problem to have, pondering which of these wonderful
gifts from Papa to use. Talk about embarrassment of riches.
Scranton: Might be fun to throw an M2 into the mix.

For the M2 I was thinking of the Teabag boards:
GB Pass M2 Clone Boards with 120mm UMS spacing by Tea-Bag
M2Clone boards with 120mm UMS spacing - diyAudio
(In my case, the M2 was from the factory, while the F6 and Aleph-J were diy.)

And thats the truth! They are all amazing, just preferences.
