Get used to it
And yes please let me know been wisiting Linear site just looking for news
The only thing I can offer is post on their web site maybe that will help them to deliver . 5 years and counting on this one.Get used to it

If you tell me how you do it (very dumb person instructions please) I do the same.
Was going to kidnap their pets and children's but I rather try your way first
Incidentally, out of sheer frustration with availability of p channels for my F5 project I asked Papa the other day to see what he could do to provide a new input stage for the F5 using current parts since I'm tired of dealing with people in China to get the 170/j74. He agreed we've waited too long for Linear's p channel and would look into doing something about this.
I think they were at RMAF or one of those shows last year handing out samples. I called them around November and they said should be soon, but it never seems to happen. I don't know what the heck is wrong with them. Maybe if you follow them to the trade shows, you can collect enough samples to make an amp.
I'm not sure there's another part that performs as good as the Toshibas did.

I would so much see an elegant solution using only dual monolithic N jfets.
When liberty permit let us know . This is good news.Triodethom - Yes, they will. Most likely by the end of the year.
This is not conjecture, and I am not at liberty to say any more about it. (Yet)

I dont think we can blame Linear, on one hand they may already be stucked stabilizing process yield for P channels and on the other hand they need good financial report for their investors. We could probably show support if we combine our interest by filing up interest sheets with real demand quantities.
Just my 2 cents.

I'm thinking the same thing but my goal was to build the F5 to hear what all the fuss is about. If I designed something before actually hearing the F5 I doubt I'd produce something that sounded even remotely like it. Papa has lots of experience and intuition about the sound of his amps so I'm hoping he'll have time to whip something up for us soon.
Now that there is a pent up demand for the J74 type part they may be able to overcome whatever difficulties there are/were in making this part - since they've had the LSK170 for years now, there can be little doubt that they would most likely have wanted to provide a compliment sooner than later. I'm thinking that they are thinking they can put more $$ into getting the process to work now that there is a greater demand and no other source(s) for this part.
Shame that Toshiba decided to junk the line...

PS. ottopilot, the F5 is two things: a simple easy amp to build and 2) a chameleon - it changes character with bias, parts and implementation.

Maybe something else that will work but, I don't know that there is anything as good as the Toshiba parts. Most manufacturers like Pass and Ayre etc. bought a lifetime supply of them.
