It sometimes feels like that. Currently I have to exit my space and come in another
door to access some of it....

And what is really scary, is the fact that you probably know where everything is hidden, all neat and tidy and in some order - otherwise you might spend hours looking for a particular item.
Your post reminds me that those parts were never delivered here, could have gone by sea to Sea Ranch.
rather than dumpster diving for unobtanium obsolete parts, I think, we should focus on converting well established amps to transconductance/current source amps based on all available parts
i am sure it can be done and more diyaudio folks would like it
Yesssss this x100
I thought our goal originally, when the R100's went away was low input capacitance as a limiting factor for other SiC related devices available at the time. The only newer SiC mosfets with lower input capacitance are infineon. However, the rest of the data sheet does not look like an IRFP240 or a R100 datasheet. I apologize if this has been already addressed elsewhere.

It could also mean "will self destruct due to development of hot spot".
It would not be my first such failure, hopefully not my last either.
You have to look at the SOA curves. If they don't have a DC line, then you know
what you're in for. I had some GaN parts rated at 125 watts that died at 20V X 1A at DC.

Two houses and a container at this time....
