It's become the Beast With 2,352 Jfets.

😎

I see this amp like honey comb...every little bee adds a little drop, and the sound becomes as sweet as honey...

I think this project is awesomely insane 🙂

I don't think so. And if the sonic quality is according to the expectations (also in the relation of the linearity), this beast could be translate in a special integrated circuit design comparable to the M.E.T (LAPT) bjt versions mentioned about
http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/soli...istor-families-audio-power-output-stages.html
for serial production.
For me such a design could be an integrated circuit outline like the SANYO STK-Series or SANKEN's MT-100 (2SC2922) design - pictures are to see about
http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/soli...ic-integrated-circuit-amplifier-overview.html and
Counterfeit Transistors
read also my post #44 - the mentioned design with preamp tubes for an power amp there is actually the same basic idea.

I'm definitely looking forward to the reports on the results

I will definitely build it. Even if it takes years. I'm also looking forward to the front end.

(Oh, this always present little humming in my head, that I normally consider as some kind of modulated cosmic background radiation, started whispering to me: "Grail Amp! Grail Amp!" Shut up, Buddy! :clown:)

By insane, I ment by the number of devices and realization; using "awesomely" just in front, I meant that this is a great project 🙂 That's all, so don't misunderstand 🙂 English's not my primary language, so I might not be clear in all cases. Hope the smiley was however

I definitely support this project

I understood exactly what you were saying.

Insane, awesome, sick, are all positives in my book.
 
> now what? we have to start GB for JFET

a) Do you think you can still get 2SJ74's in quantity for reasonable price?
b) Anyone of you have an automatic matching machine or fancy matching 10000 FETs by hand?

Yes, we are building a machine to automate the matching. But it will take a year at least.

talked to Linear systems, and the LSJ74 sounds like they will be on sale very soon, and the rep seems quite upset that it has taken so long, also he is selling D and E grades of LSK170 with >20ma Idss and available for 1000pcs for 0.6 per piece
 
Linear Systems will have a table at Burning Amp. And Paul Norton, the guy you probably talked to, will be there with others, to hand out some samples and T-shirts, as well as answer questions. Things are looking up for availability. In the new state, everyone will had a Beast of a Thousand JFETS and a chicken in every pot...
