ok, lets do it
title suggestion
Your F5 parts
reason, I would like it to be based on what kind of parts are being used
would be nice with pictures too
then I think questions comes natural
but the foundation should be members showing what kind of components are being used
even simple resistors

You're not wrong Russell. I've been listening for a week now and I really like this amp. I was expecting a big difference after using an Aleph 5 for the last few years what with the lower gain but its only a couple of clicks on the volume control and the lower power still goes plenty loud enough to elicit a " turn it down" response from my wife.
I would love to do an Aleph, very nice. Yes, a couple more clicks usually does it. Something bothered me at first about the limited absolute volume (with B-1 anyway) but if "absolute" volume is louder than you need (which it is) whats the trouble? Plus, it sounds great. Glad you like it, I've yet to see an unenthusiastic response on the F-5.

Hey folks, sad news: I just had for the first time a faked 2SJ74BL in my hand.
Sad to see that now also these are faked, although there must be plenty of genuine stock available.
The parts I got all had the batch code 7C, had matte faces that looked like the original marking on its face was removed with acid. All parts had an IDSS far above the usual values for BLs, about 20mA.
I didn't have time so far to test for transconductance, but I would expect a low transconductance part anyway.
Beware, I got mine from a usually very trustfull supplier from Europe, not from some doubtfull source from far away.
So take care, Hannes

Then you know something that I don't.
ZhouFang couldn't get any at an affordable price. My German suppliers ran out. My Japanese supplier is rationing them 10 pieces max per person. If you can still find a few thousands of them for less than 1USD, I am the first one who wants to know.
Of course we can all wait for Linear Systems for their LSK74s, like we did for the last 4 years or so ?

How many million jFETs can be produced if the production line is moved to jFETs for one day?
What special procedures need to be on line for that run? How often will that run need to be repeated?
Can we adjust our production methods so that we can cheaply do a 2hr run for the jFET that is coming out?
**** this, we can make more money producing switching mosFETs
