For my next project / for-the-fun-of-it I'm thinking of building John Broskie's Triadtron HP buffer, as shown here: https://www.tubecad.com/2021/12/blog0549.htm
My DAC has plenty of drive and I have a ton of HP amps that are low THD and ultra transparent - this will be more for the single-ended sound and flavour (and because I haven't built an amp for ages).
Before I start slinging solder blobs does anyone have any thoughts? Are there better BJT options than the MJE350 and D44/D45H11G?

Looks good - it also seems relatively complete as many of his blog discussions are concepts and models. Great blog but even he admits there's often more todo to bring many of the discussions into the real world (ie independent tube biasing etc).
I may be tempted to put some additional components along side the next order.
