Depletion MosFET Buffer

@6L6 suggested doubling up the transistors and cutting the power per transistor in half. Each transistor moves further away from the SOA cliff-of-death.
Q1 with source resistor R3 ----> becomes ----> (Q1a with source resistor R3a) parallel (Q1b with source resistor R3b)​
Q2 with source resistor R5 ----> becomes ----> (Q2a with source resistor R5a) parallel (Q2b with source resistor R5b)​
And naturally R3a = R3b = (2 * R3) . Also R5a = R5b = (2 * R5).​

I think it's a pretty good idea! Wayne's source degeneration resistors ballast the MOSFETs; they soak up any deltaV which may be present due to (Q1a, Q1b) not matching perfectly. Same for (Q2a, Q2b). Bravo @6L6 !

Parts count increases by four.
 
speaking of nature of the beast(s)........ what I got to as practical recipe, using 2* triple of 2SK2145BL for same sex buffer, I found that white follower is worse (in sound and in measurements) than plain non-modulated buffer***
White follower arrangement is better "only" in condition of really heavy load..... for which I even didn't think of using puny JFets buffer

just a reminder that different parts are different with reason, or from reason :rofl:

***which can be sorta good, lower portion (CCS) can be made with whatever best for occasion, no need to use same 3 JFet cell as above
 
my set of criteria was different; with said JFets in said circuit, performance of (optimized) White follower is too much load dependent for my liking

same phenomena why some ppl are liking tube Mu stages, some don't ..... you can optimize them as part of (bigger) circuit but if used as stand-alone, another story
