I have tried that in my v1.1 for the emitter follower buffer. The active load did not put it into oscillation, but I much preferred the resistive load (a rather high one) subjectively.
Depending on the Jfet used, a resistor might actually be a better choice. The first one I tried was not much better than the 14k resistor.
Judging by what I saw simulating with my models I don't believe it makes much of a difference, so I think this is only for those who want some kind of lab supply, that will go from 10V to 80V or something like that. Otherwise not necessary (and, like you say, possibly better without). (though shunt's really are perfect for prototyping and experimenting, if you can get over the heat. Max output current is easily set)

Sorry guys, I won't be able to do any real progress for a few days now, our baby boy was born a bit earlier than expected so... intensive family time now. 🙂

Congratulations iko, I hope he is well.
Congratulations! I am happy for you! I have smiles on my face and I can see yours. All the best for your family!

Great news, congratulations Iko.
wow, now thats an event for the thread, a regulator is born and a real baby is born, congrats mate!!
