Advantages of Cascode?

[RichardJones]

What is the advantage of a Cascode JFET input on a pre-amp?

Sonic advantages and objective measurements?

Debating whether to use one on my front-end of my pre-amp...

Thoughts?

Lower distortion

Higher bandwidth

High voltage (if you use a high voltage transistor

= A cascode creates a super transistor

Have you checked Mr Cascode.

subjective differences?

But how do they "sound" compared to a regular input stage?

Thanks!
