Guilty as charged 😎
Just so you know MZM, I bought a hot air rework station because of you. Inspired by you of course and also because it was inexpensive and looked like a good idea at the time ...

as I promised (to my self , in first place ) , today I did change pair of 2SK170BL in input LTP position , for 2+2 pcs of 2SK2145BL
previous idea was to up LTP current from 10mA to 20mA , resulting in healthy 50mW per tiny bugger , but later decided to try Papa's approach , of doubling input JFets , while Iq keeping at same level as for single pair
that way - due to increased combined xconductance , OLG is rising , and without change of NFB network , NFB is rising , so we can expect lower level of THD
is it good thing or not - sound wise , who cares ...... I have all the time left to humanity to try that ...... later

now the real stuff ...... I mean - hard data
(observe how I finally switched two cells On , so removed confusing unnecessary part of graph 🙂 )
each graph is having title in bottom
so , THD indeed goes down , comparing to yesterdays measurements , with pair of Toshiba 2SK170BL in FE
load 8R

having some time before actually being forced to sleep 
it's interesting to put them (graphs) side by side and compare
so , left is FE with pair of 2SK170BL , right is FE with double pair of 2SK2145BL
LTP Iq 10mA in both cases
1W@8R
