Blues-
I have recently come to learn that etching a pcb is one of the easier things to do around here.
If you can handdraw it, then scan it into the computer. Use a laser printer to print it on glossy photopaper. Iron it onto your copper clad board, then remove the paper and etch in muriatic acid available at the local hardware store. This is the basic simple process which I have condensed from Tom Gootee's website. It is much easier than, say, getting Jacco to be serious, but not quite as easy as matching bipolar transistors!
I have started working on an aleph PCB, but it will be for a cascoded J-fet.

If I design a ckt board would etch one for me?

Seriously, i've got a old flatbed plotter that puts the artyfarty straight on the clad boards, no need for paperwork.
Me missess found it in the dumpster, with ~50 plotter ink pens.

The lack of one 22.1k resistor?
Hi !
Don't You think there is a lack of one 22.1k resistor connected between R3-C1 and the ground (as in usual aleph way of feedback net) ?

Re: The lack of one 22.1k resistor?
that's R3 .
think ................. XLR ...............

You don't need to worry about.
But, not me . . .

I seem to remember someone selling something similar a while back, what was it..... Babble-something....?

A list of changes to the BrianGT Mini-A boards would be cool...if you could even convert a Mini-A into a mini AJ. I dunno.
A piggy-back board is only needed for aesthetic reasons because of J vs MOS pinouts...if you're ready to twist and shout, you get an instant AJ.

Board measures 80x100 mm, single sided, no wires. It's exactly Papa's schematic, I only left out the input coupling cap (1µ) for greater flexibility.
Comments welcome.
I like it 😉
if you wanna use small MF resistors , make R5 from two in series ;
dissipation issue
Good hint, thx Choky. U're right, dissipates >300 mW.make R5 from two in series; dissipation issue

if you ask me - I'll stick with two bjt CCS , even if Papa choose simpler one ;
besides better temp. behavior of two bjt version , comparing it with one bjt version, one issue is certainly important - thurn on thump must be greater - look at 10uF across zenner .
maybe I'm wrong , maybe I'm not ;
in any case - I'm sure that Papa's schematic is good enough , as always 😀
