Advice on new project- Mini-A w/ JFET or F4?

[winslow]

Need a new project to work on, and I can't decide what to build- another Mini-A but with a JFET front end or an F4? I would be driving either using the balanced outputs of the preamp section of my Benchmark Media DAC1. I have the PS and amp boards for the A/Mini-A already- got extras a while back from BrianGT. Have a 18-0-18 300VA transformer coming from Antek.

Any ideas before I start to gather parts?

I really don't know which one to build.

300VA isn't very much for a stereo F4.

I could have sworn that is what is used in the commercial one.

here says a 300 VA for a single transformer for a stereo pair of boards.

300VA isn't very much for a stereo F4.

If it's conservatively rated, it's enough. You are, of course,
welcome to use larger.

I can buy another one and do separate power supplies for the F4 if it came down to it.

I'm not sure on which route to go is all. Was curious on which way you guys would go.
