It should work but the curves/characteristics are different and the circuit has to be adjusted for it.
Higher Yfs brings nothing good here by itself.
Anyway, you are free to experiment and see/hear what you get...

juma: For the amp you put in post #164 (thank you for that) can you think of any reason to not use a cap multiplier PS like you posted for Cubie3, except it will be single rail only?
No reason at all.
Only thing you lose is 4V of power supply voltage.
And don't forget to use R14 ( it can be even lower, down to 100R, depending on how leaky the coupling cap is).

Hello Juma,regarding the small preamp i attach,you specified Q1 as BF245C and R8 as 150Ohm in order to have a drain current of about 9.7mA. I dont have BF245C but i have 2 pieces BF245B that have a matched idss of 8.8mA.Can i use these instead of BF245C and what changes do i have to make?Thank you!

Maouna, I would not recommend that schematic. There is a better one. I attach the schematic, layout (100 x 32 mm, copper side view) and picture of the test module.
It's about 6 dB gain. For 12 dB gain change R5,R25 to 10k. The value of R3,R20 will set the MOSFETs' Id to 12-15ma (that's what we want) - you measure it as a voltage drop over R11,R18.

Because the other one is better. The one from post #209 will work OK - use those BF245B that you have (Idss=8.8mA) without source resistor (R8,R17) or a very small one (10R) and adjust the value of R3,R21 so that you get half of the regulated power supply voltage at the MOSFET's drains (Q2,Q3).
I am almost done with the preamp of post #1 but i have question.
I see a resistor on the mini PCB on which BF862 is soldered.Does this resistor connects to the gate of BF862?

Is the BF861B a suitable replacement for the BF862? What about any of these other jfets at Mouser?
JFET N-Channel SMD/SMT RF JFET Transistors | Mouser
What's the ideal jfet Idss for the circuit in post #1?
I would like to build it like the original circuit.
Are there any changes to the circuit in post #1?
I want to drive an F4 and MoFo power followers.
Thanks,
Vince

It's a gate stopper. It doesn't make a difference here because R3 (22k) does that job already.
2sk170 or 2sk246 (any grade will do).
BF861B with Idss >= 12mA will do OK.
Got no time to browse through all those datasheets but you should look for parts with high gm and linear transfer curve. Although, with some effort, many will work OK.
12-15mA
I don't remember - did many different stuff since then. Maybe you should search/browse through thread(s).
12-15mA
Thanks for the suggestions.Juma,do you have any other shunt PSU like the one with TL431 but with 48V output and the same noise suppression results??.My load current will be max 22mA
If i want to put a coupling capacitor between input volume pot and R3,where should i connect the + of the 10u electrolytic capacitor?(i only have 10uF/50V electrolytic nichicon FW series)
Regarding the 470ohm gate stopper resistor,should i ommit it ithis case? i have already made space for the resistor in my small pcb.
