GB (possible) for TOSHIBA 2SK1530 & 2SJ201 pairs

I have an opportunity to purchase up to 30 pairs of TOSHIBA 2SK1530 & 2SJ201 MOSFET's. They are NOT matched and the price from Tokyo is $60/pair. They are only available as pairs of 2SK1530 & 2SJ201. This is the best price I could find in Tokyo, others wanted $40 - 140 each piece, so $60 a pair still seems high to me.
I don't need nor want 30 pairs, so I thought others might be interested. The price including shipping and PayPal fees from Tokyo to Wisconsin, USA. I would like to keep the group buy only for North America as I've had such problems shipping to G.B. and Europe.
If interested reply to this thread, I'm not overly excited about this purchase due to the cost, so I would gladly join the little to no interest group. However, if there is a demand, then I will put this together.
 
I'm not sure if Spencer/Fetaudio still has these (site implies he does), but you can get an unmatched pair from him for $25 USD.

I had this terrible thought that I could improve the sound of my F5Tv3 monoblocks. I should know better than taking apart something that works to "modify it beyond repair". I'm already in the process of making ALEPH J Semi South boards so I can swap them in and out of my ALEPH J, using your schematic and component values. At least with the ALEPH J, I can always swap the old boards back in again.
 
Not a terrible thought 🙂 I can say that these parts are great in an F5, or at least that was my experience.

The Aleph J swap will make it fun to go back and forth at your discretion. I’ve really enjoyed both versions.
