I have a couple questions; does anyone know when the boards will be ready? The store says sometime around April 1.
Second I read in one of the threads that the store Fets were being matched within their respective grades. I bought 8 LSL74's from the store (c grade ). Does this matching mean you will receive 8 matched?

Your boards are in the store now. Aleph J:

Regarding the 2sj74 jfets, you'll get devices with similar Idss. Out of these you might be a able to match pairs, but a larger batch size might be needed for that. There are plenty of threads and articles on matching available.
Thanks for the replies. I had an email the other day saying the order has been shipped. Crossing fingers I can get 2 fairly closely matched sets. I'm getting itchy to start building the Aleph J!
Did you receive your jfets, and were you able to get matched pairs out of your batch? Especially considering with "b" grade limits you to one set of 8.

Yes I did get the FET's and here are the IDSS values I got using a 9V battery and measuring current with a Fluke 25 dmm.
16.31 11.38 13.63 14.05 19.42 16.17 11.84 11.56
So I matched up the 11.38 and 11.56 16.17 and 16.31.
They are within 2% , that's the best I could do so I have installed them and
finished the Aleph, everything worked, set the biases and zero's. Now I am getting ready to give it a listen.

Thats great, and good to know. I figured it would work out like that, otherwise why bother making them available! Again, thats great to know.
