The choices are placed in order, 2SK170 best, to J310 worst,
But the J113 will do just as good as the 2SK170.
Yes, GR is easier to get.
Problem with GR is that they have less Gm but the same input capacitance as the BL or V parts.
That is what John Curl told me. Actually i never verified this.
I learned that high Gm parts are just paralleling on many smaller transistors inside the chip. Following that logic a lower Gm part should also have lower input capacitance.

To much heat?

On the other hand running the cooling fins on lower heat would provoke a plethora of responses that a shunt works best driven HOT.
That comes from too much input voltage.
When the semis get hot there is a chance of oscillation.

Today I have measured the heatsink temperature from both boards .
After a half hour 50 Degree C constat, by 24 Volt input. Output 18 Volt
steady and I can adjust + - 0,5 Volt. ( see Benedettos Fotos my boards )
Is that OK Frans

Well said, I am available. I am afraid there is no easy means to detect oscillation of the PSU other than with a scope - the shunt is so good that detecting it with a DMM is difficult. I have yet to get my hands on a Paradise R3 "amplifier" that oscillates......
Good morning all
Just for clarity
Is Q107 R108
and Q207 R208 that need changing?
I got a stash of 2SK107BL from Mouser from time to time they do get same so place your order and eventually they will arrive.
I am going to try those this morning, if SHE lets me, I don't have the J113 but I will get same for the R3 boards.

Hairpullingly mad!!!
Maaaad, I tell you, maaaad!
Yeah I remember early days when same XXXX could not get the thing to work and started to rip thing apart.
I have been re-reading the build guide
Quote from Paradise R3 Assembly and trubleshooting guide .
My
recommendation would be to use values around 400 for both N and P for the input stage, whereas
the other parts of the circuit can use higher gains (but please make sure you have those decoupling
caps in place on the bottom side of the PCB).
It sems to contradict recent posts...
I believe that Joachim mentioned advantages to be had if the Imput stage has hi Hfe is this correct?
I have NPN up to 550 and PNP over 600
