BTW, current asking price for 2SJ74 is 4€ a piece.
So just P-JFETs alone would be 2000€ ?
I read about power amplifiers that go for $100,000. What would you pay for
such an exotic beast?
Besides, Patrick, I have a photo of you holding one of the boards. You had
your chance to run away with it....
A dream of your youth came true creating the "beast", what a long line in your life and how happy the different turnings of the story.....
a great movie....
thank you! and your wife, turning dreams in a kind of real situation....ending (of course) in communication and the young man, fulfilling the monsters whishes...

(That is of you can get them at that quantity at all......)
Patrick
So I guess some matching is also required, so that would be even more expensiveRoth tested the Idss of each Jfet and soldered them into the boards

We graded them a little more finely so as to be sure of getting relatively equal
distributions, but actual matching was not necessary, so the cost is the same.
BTW, Patrick's estimate of the cost of the P fets was one channel only.
At $5 apiece, we have almost $12,000 worth of Jfets. I believe I pointed out
elsewhere that I left the leads on the parts long, just in case I needed them
someday.
