Adaptor PCB 2SK2145GR as 2SK170BL Substitute

FYI, last time I ordered these from JLCPCB they charged ~$14 for vcut and $3.60 for panelization

They're for the phono input of the Pearl 3 which uses 4 parallel transistors per channel, either 2SK209GRs or 2SK170s, Ids around 2.2mA each.

Pairing should lower noise/increase dynamics; matching should eliminate the 10R current balancing resistors on the sources, and improve channel matching. @Boydk got good results with the 2SK2145GRs; I'm thinking that pairs of 2SK209Ys will make it possible to get closer to the target.
