Feedback-Based 6N3P-E Preamp

I'm busy working on a layout (just one tube) for a 6N3P-E based hybrid preamp with feedback (horrors!), run by a little Antek toroid with a 150V HV regulator of my own design using a 500V p-channel mosfet I nabbed from Electronic Goldmine. I'll be using the ZVP2120GTA p-channel mosfet (SOT-223 SM package) from Diodes, Inc., as it has lower gate capacitance than the IRF9610 mosfets originally used in the design (zippier performance). Details will follow as I get the design worked out.

I originally posted this as an aside in the Salas 6V6 preamp thread, but the project has since acquired a life of its own, hence the separate thread.
