Nope. Discrete audio transistors are a niche market. The vast majority of the consumer market has gone integrated (op-amps, monolythic ICs, and class-D). There's not enough profit to continue producing these specialized JFETs. There are some substitutions that are close, a bit of searching through the forums can find a few threads with the info.
Toshiba does not produce JFETs any more. There are still a lot of 2SK170 floating around, and Linear Systems produce a direct replacement, called LSK170.
BF862 is in essentially all respect better than the 2SK170, widely available and relatively cheap.

Thank you very much, knutn & Samuel.
So if I want a 2SK170GR-equivalent, should I choose the LSK170 ... or the BF862? 🙂
And Samuel ... in what way is the BF862 better than a 2SK170? 😕

Andy
