Potential mathed JFETs for Balanced F5 build

Status
Not open for further replies.
All, I've watched the Balanced F5 build with interest. As you may know, I completed my cascoded balanced F5 a month or so ago. To do so, I needed a set of JFETs to suit the build. Being the compulsive over buyer I am, I bought a load of JFETs. My matches have consistently run the spectrum. My experience is a lot of Idss' will work well, but if you desire a specific Idss, I'm game.

Now the disclaimer. While I love DIY audio, I can get super busy super fast. I have NO INTEREST in making JFET sales a business. I am very interested in helping my brothers forge forward into the unknown pleasures of a home built Nelson Pass amp! As such, please do not get upset if it takes me a few days to respond to a PM, or send a package.

I have been sending JFETs to friends and people who've expressed problems (eBay or otherwise). So far, I've been charging by the difficulty of the match (pairs cheaper than quads, etc). I haven't given much thought to pricing, it depends on how many respond, and how many quads and octets I have.

Oh well, the title came through a little off, but it's sort of true still...
 
hehe yeah i like the title, its appropriate especially when talking about degen matches. i sent you a pm regarding some of those and i would also like to add a request for the highest idss j74 quad (or perhaps octet) you can muster for driving semisouths from an aleph. have you done any vgs matched sets rather than idss?
 
Guys,

I have been surprised by the response.

It's clear there are more folks interested than I have Octets. I'll allocate what I have tonight on a first come first served basis.

I am days away from another set of JFETs from the same source. I suspect I'll have more matches shortly if you don't get an Octet, and want to wait.

Thanks
