No need for ground connection on top jfet. You want g and a at same potential. With s grounded, gate is sitting at rail voltage above source.
You are running in several direction. Wish you would settle down.
You have me interested in the buffer version.

=)
The lowpass a secondary is probaly something I won't do, at least at first but when I thought of it it seemed a good idea to just throw the question so I wouldn't forget it.
The two designs I wish to test first is:
#1 something with no feedback, but still decent roll off for full range.
#2 a current feedback version.
Back to the buffer: if you put 2SK170 as buffer won't it have gain itself or is that where the degeneration comes in?
And I wonder here on the drain of the lower jfet, it shoulnd't have all the voltage from v+ to v- right? So should it be connected to ground there or would that be bad and it would be better to go to v+ but reduce the voltage first with a resistor? Or I'm just confused and it is something else you should do 😉

if +23 , that means little one goes Dodo very soon
if GND , then yup
C2 is properly connected , while C1 isn't
lower buffer's Rs is OK connected, while upper isn't

I think +45Vds dynamically is allowed on the 2SK170 but not on max current (Pmax 0,4 W); but at 2 mA for instance (the source resistor is not given) then it should be ok isn't it?
In the schematic of this post, connect the upper buffer exactly like the bottom buffer; as Zen Mod said in an earlier post.semi Silencer

Is there available a signal-level, or a low-power SIT to use instead of 2SK170? Will the updated combination of this SIT buffering R100A behave like a power SIT?
J309/10?Is there available a signal-level, or a low-power SIT to use instead of 2SK170?
A triode is a candidate to make a hybrid; [diyF6H].there are, but really rare.

2sk79 is available but expensive.
J309/10?
nope - too high Idss/Vgs , so impossible to squeeze needed value of Rs in 1V25 , which is Vgs for output Jfet
A triode is a candidate to make a hybrid; [diyF6H].
nope in my world , where I refuse to use any part in starvation mode ( either voltage or current)
even if you use low voltage toob , they're inferior to properly implemented small Jfet
So if Rx and Ry are set at 5k ohms, the 2SK170 should only see about half the +/- 23 volts. The current would be about 4.4 mA and dissipation on the jfet should be about .1 watt. What idss should we use?
See attached.
What am I missing? Will this work?

[Ry] calculates to be 270 Ohms. What is the voltage at point 8 of the transformer for the bottom circuit?So if Rx and Ry are set at 5k ohms, the 2SK170 should only see about half the +/- 23 volts. The current would be about 4.4 mA and dissipation on the jfet should be about .1 watt. What idss should we use?

you're Dodo in da head almost as Dumbest of Them All - Mighty ZM , itself

you need , say , around 1V2 across both Rx and Ry
then bias seting ports are there to fine tune bias/current through outputs , same as in original scheme
if you put 5K for Rx and Ry , then cuyrrent through buffer Jfets need to be ridiculously small ........ 1V2/5K=240uA
say that you have small Jfets in 10mA range ; then 1V2/10mA=Rx=Ry=120R
put 150 to 180R for starters and enjoy
edit:
Rx needs to go to output node , not -Ub

whatever , one pic is worth zilll.......
Thank you that picture.
I know how dumb I am, thanks for pointing that out though, again! 🙂
I will try this and see how it sounds, then try some feedback too.
