I appreciate that advice.
However, this spec isn't always (ever?) evident on the data sheets (or maybe I cannot read them well enough?) For instance, the Nichicon FG (which Walt Jung recently mentioned) data sheet:
https://www.partsconnexion.com/media/pdfs/Nichicon_fg.pdf
I couldn't find a spec for ESR on this sheet. Or... ?
Again some of us mostly just want to build something that works and not reinvent wheels or necessarily learn by failure.

I’ve also had trouble finding ESR data for Nichicon caps. Or at least that I can recall, though I’ll also admit to not digging too deep to find it.

One of the obvious and anticipated shortcomings of the Minnie is the max VDS of the new JFETs -- and the gate threshold voltage of the P-channel MOSFET. (Of course, I could always get the SOT23 LSK170's!).
The chart below demonstrates the headroom of the output stage when operating with 15V and 24V supplies. The X-Axis is output voltage.

Sorry for interfering with your discussion. I recently bought an YR1035+ . This device is capable of measuring(has kelvin connected probes) ac impedance from under 1miliohm to above 200miliohm.
I use it to measure lithium cells impedance but for curiosity I measured some caps and the impedance was as per datasheet.
For 50€ I think it’s a very handy device to have near you.
PS. If you want to measure impedance under 2miliohm be sure that the device has the ZR function.

with apologies to the late great C&W comedian.
Smack my head! I just got the joke today. 😉

Sarah Ophelia Cannon was a very sophisticated woman -- Ken Burns "Country Music" series on PBS, wealthy family and finishing school! Never bothered to listen to WSM in my youth.

The NSVJ5908 dual JFET's aren't quite useable in this design -- least if you are trying to use both halves. The side-by-side devices have quite different curves. No free lunch. Solution is to snip one of the drains on each device, at least for this PCB:

Did you mess around with the 2SK2145 for this design?
That would appear to be a good choice PLUS the package size is 50% greater meaning its easier to get the critters to sit still.
I know it's not quite up to the voltage rating as 2sk2145, but 2sk932 might also be a candidate, if they were in drawer - no? At least the transfer admittance for obtaining some gain in the first gain stage looks very fine to me.
Having struggled myself with having power supply and Pearl 2 full size boards in the same enclosure, I find your mini version with the smaller ground plane interesting.
Looking forward to your success with the design.

Just happened to have some 2SK2145BL hanging around. Will have to see how they deal with noise:
Excited to see how these do for noise.

subject for another thread -- my measure of 1/f noise is an order of magnitude worse (at 10 Hz) compared to the numbers I see published for the various NJFETs, but quite consistent at 1kHz and above.

That’s pretty good!
NAC Semiconductor is now a distributor for LinearSystems. I've ordered some LSK389 which is SOIC8, and LSK170B in SOIC.
The footprint would be a bit larger, but perhaps 1206 instead of 0805 passive devices. I think Jan had mentioned that the 1206 have better thermal performance, not that we're gonna be cooking!
