In this case i prefer to read only the cover...And you still judge a book by its cover.
In an interview, Billy Joel was asked what has made him a standout. He responded his ability to read and compose music made him unique in the music industry, which as he explained, was troubling for the music industry when being musically literate makes you stand out. An astonishing amount of today’s popular music is written by two people: Lukasz Gottwald of the United States and Max Martin from Sweden, who are both responsible for dozens of songs in the top 100 charts. You can credit Max and Dr. Luke for most the hits of these stars:
Katy Perry, Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson, Taylor Swift, Jessie J., KE$HA, Miley Cyrus, Avril Lavigne, Maroon 5, Taio Cruz, Ellie Goulding, NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, Ariana Grande, Justin Timberlake, Nick Minaj, Celine Dion, Bon Jovi, Usher, Adam Lambert, Justin Bieber, Domino, Pink, Pitbull, One Direction, Flo Rida, Paris Hilton, The Veronicas, R. Kelly, Zebrahead
With only two people writing much of what we hear, is it any wonder music sounds the same, using the same hooks, riffs and electric drum effects?

It feels like audio is shrinking as well. At least better quality audio playback equipment.

Patrick has made some useful suggestions, I happened to have a stash of NOS genuine Toshiba FET's, one can come up with a much better BOM with easier to find parts. The common mode feedback is an old idea, but it gives cancellation of second harmonic without complimentary symmetry.
Make that half a century.
"Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died?"
Don McLean
And I promised to support FETs for at least 20 builders when interested.
We managed to get 2SK372s at reasonable price before they also got too difficult.
But it is now Scott's turn to (re)build.

That song was crystallized Futterneid (Jealousy for food in animals)
when the British took over Rock & Pop.
Lord Jester is John Lennon.

Right, just so you know he's making me do SMD again. Mine was all through hole.
.Did you listen to early Katty Perry albums before being famous?
It might not be your cup of tea due to generational disparity...but:

Don't forget she's the daughter of a priest!
Most of that list tells me nothing as to many people , but some of the commercial hits are decent .
A good friend of mine , before having his own recording studio, said:
"I listened to all Vivaldi opera, every single song that he composed in his life and only The Seasons are genius artwork .The rest of it is just garbage.."

Two of them are semi-covers, but way better than the original .\

She went under the radar for 25 years and still have a gorgeous audience yet nobody knows her.
