Just a technical question about complements. The LSJ74 are still in gestation and original 2SJ74 are a rare/expensive commodity (especially in this neck of the woods, "The Global South").
I don't understand the basics of FETs very well so this question may be stupid but can we build a low noise complement to the LSK170s that we now own by running a few 2N5460's (or similar) in parrallel the way we can with bipolars? (i.e. LM394 etc)
If so, can anyone suggest an online tute' or place where we can learn how?
Thanks, Jonathan

Try http://www.ampslab.com/components_fets.htm for both 2SJ74BL and 2SK170BL. I just got 20 of each last week, $1 each. Mike is a great guy and reputable seller.

Hi Folks
I have just found a distributor near me who supplies lsk389s. I wondered how people have found these parts compared to the 2sk389 originals. I am going to make some discrete opamps and wondered whether to get the lsk389s. Can you recommend them?
cheers

lsk389 for sale
I just called a distributor for Linear Systems, Trendsetter Electronics. Their main website is Trendsetter Electronics: Home. They have a location in Texas that has A,B, and C grades of lsk389s in the TO-71 case for $7.25ea in quantities from 1-99. (Shipping is extra). The specific website for this place in TX is:
Source ESB: Source for electronic manufacturers, distributors, products and value added services
Phone # is 800-310-3050.
I'll probably get 2 or 3, but don't know anything about organizing a group buy.
Any takers?
Anyone have a pair of LSK389s in the metal cans for sale?

Many thanks. The website looked like a typical parts broker with no prices and the promise to get back to you. As if test equipment or electronics parts fluctuate like stock prices. Why not just list the price?
Wow! These Trendsetter guys are practically in my back yard! Literally. Like 3 or 4 miles away.

OK, then....your job (should you decide to accept it) is to engage in a business transaction, and report back to HQ!😀
