Matched JFET Set for 2 Channels of Kaneda No.168 Lineamp

This is the Group Buy thread for sets of matched JFETs for two channels of Kaneda No.168 Preamp.
We can support up to a maximum of 30 sets

Each set consists of a quad (in only a few cases twin pairs) of 2SK246BL, plus another quad (or twin pairs) of 2SJ103BL.
A twin pair means 2 matched pairs with Vgs close to each other.
BL grade is necessary for them to function in the circuit, as specified by Kaneda.
They are matched for Vgs and Yfs at 2~3mA, i.e. close to working conditions in the circuit.
So each set will consists of 8 JFETs.

We shall offer with the package 2x free PCBs of the K168SZ (Sziklai) version as used by us.
They include additional features, and can be used for both standard and Sziklai versions.
Detailed instructions plus BoM are also included.

Price is 40€ + postage from Ireland. We already paid EU VAT.
You can provisionally subscribe for more than 1 set, if so wish.
In case of over-subscription, the extra sets will be re-allocated to newcomers.
We shall only call for payment when we are ready to ship.

We have more JFETs, but they need matching first. Will take some time.

Please help us to help you by adding your name and no. of sets to the list below :
