Considering the fine sonic upgrade I got by using LM317 current source I would think its worthy to investigate a superior descrete CCS. Do you have any promissing circuit in mind that is fairly developed and tested?
 
Been away... Not yet. Although uprating a cascode to take account of the current or simply using a DN2540 depletion-ode JFET would work, it wouldn't necessarily be very temperature stable, so a little more thought is probably required. Watch this space...
