Hello Juma,regarding the small preamp i attach,you specified Q1 as BF245C and R8 as 150Ohm in order to have a drain current of about 9.7mA. I dont have BF245C but i have 2 pieces BF245B that have a matched idss of 8.8mA.Can i use these instead of BF245C and what changes do i have to make?Thank you!

Maouna, I would not recommend that schematic. There is a better one. I attach the schematic, layout (100 x 32 mm, copper side view) and picture of the test module.
It's about 6 dB gain. For 12 dB gain change R5,R25 to 10k. The value of R3,R20 will set the MOSFETs' Id to 12-15ma (that's what we want) - you measure it as a voltage drop over R11,R18.

Because the other one is better. The one from post #209 will work OK - use those BF245B that you have (Idss=8.8mA) without source resistor (R8,R17) or a very small one (10R) and adjust the value of R3,R21 so that you get half of the regulated power supply voltage at the MOSFET's drains (Q2,Q3).
For the psu section i am going to use a shunt psu posted by Juma, with 24Vac transformer (35V after rectification). the current source fet bf862 has to be changed to something with higher Vds than 35V.What do you suggest? I have 2SK170,BS170.

Is the BF861B a suitable replacement for the BF862? What about any of these other jfets at Mouser?

What's the ideal jfet Idss for the circuit in post #1?
I would like to build it like the original circuit.
Are there any changes to the circuit in post #1?
I want to drive an F4 and MoFo power followers.
Thanks,
Vince

It's a gate stopper. It doesn't make a difference here because R3 (22k) does that job already....Does this resistor connects to the gate of BF862?
2sk170 or 2sk246 (any grade will do)....bf862 has to be changed to something with higher Vds than 35V.What do you suggest? I have 2SK170,BS170.
BF861B with Idss >= 12mA will do OK.Is the BF861B a suitable replacement for the BF862?
Got no time to browse through all those datasheets but you should look for parts with high gm and linear transfer curve. Although, with some effort, many will work OK.What about any of these other jfets at Mouser?
12-15mAWhat's the ideal jfet Idss for the circuit in post #1?
I don't remember - did many different stuff since then. Maybe you should search/browse through thread(s).Are there any changes to the circuit in post #1?
12-15mAIs Idss of 14 ideal?
If i want to put a coupling capacitor between input volume pot and R3,where should i connect the + of the 10u electrolytic capacitor?(i only have 10uF/50V electrolytic nichicon FW series)
Regarding the 470ohm gate stopper resistor,should i ommit it ithis case? i have already made space for the resistor in my small pcb.
