Is pleasing my ears now with very good micro-details, accurate mids and a phenomenal bass.
Enjoy!

Is the output really loaded with a 1kOhm resistor ?

No, it isn't. It was just for simulation. The only load seen by the I/V stage is the 22k volume attenuator located into the power amplifier.

Guys, as far as I listened, this is the best sounding I/V stage I have tested. And i had listened many.
It is very simple to construct, just be sure that jfets are sorted to the same Idss in every similar symmetrically position
