Will linear deliver on promised lsj74

[Triodethom]

They are starting to appear (I just got some recently), and I believe the price
will be reasonable.

Thanks Papa

Does "starting to appear" mean a minion like I can place an order? Still can't find them on their website.

 

[Bksabath]

Get linear audio it will include one sample yup just one 2 be better but hey...
So they are in production and same special people are getting them...

And yes no sign of them on the web site

 

[toxic ingestion]

Fingers crossed. As noted on a different thread, the complement is claimed to not be up to the performance typical of the Toshiba originial (more noise), and requires more Vds (as I recall - might be wrong on that). I await to read what NP might post with regard to his impression of a matched pair.

Ten more of these showed up in my mailbox yesterday, courtesy of LS. They must be real...

[AudioSan]

hmmm are they destined for something that will appear in a future article in LA?

Tony.

 

[SY]

Yes indeed. MM phono stage with some novel circuitry.

Or the diy audio store. Can they just be ordered?

 

[AudioSan]

to buy them from diy audio store is only interesting if one order PCB's or chassis at the same time otherwise it will be expensive shipping only for a couple of J-fets
but of course, it would be great if they can offer matched pairs.

 

[sakellogg]

true. haddent thought of that.

 

[AudioSan]

if this J-fets hit the marked soon, i will be building the alephJ with the store boards
i already have the chassis and PSU in my F5, with F5c Boards. just switch te PCB's.

I think these are gonna be more expensive than the Toshiba parts were. And probably not going to be sold by large distributors. So it may be best to get them from a source that will match them than buy a couple parts from someone like Mouser or Digikey.

 

[AudioSan]

you might be right. and if it's that smal production, then its no reason to wait for them. they will then cost more then the genuin toshiba part cost today do to the smal production. and the fet will then be discontinued after a year do to no sale.

 

[labjr]

I can't see why anyone would buy two or even 20 pieces that aren't matched. Would be better to pool all the parts and make better matches out of a much larger selection.

 

[AudioSan]

who is up for matching 1mill pc?
it not all the time it need to be matched pairs.
some will want to match after own specs.
some will vant to have a drawer full of J-fets just in case, and match when they need them, in the amount needed, at the needed idss numbers.

I found a swedish distrubutor of the lsk170 who imported directly from Linear Systems. Exepensive shipment so I bought 100 of them. Asked if they knew anything about the lsj74s but they didn't as they rarely get any orders for these kinds of components.

They promised to get in touch when they hear something.
