Hi,
The Jfets is required to have following Idss.
Q1 & Q2 = Select Idss from 6 to 8mA but matched to within 0.2mA if possible.
Q6 and Q4 must be with Idss >10mA, matched them if possible.
Q5 and Q6 should be 7-10mA, matched to within 0.2mA.
DC Currents:
Current through Q1 and Q2 add up and through into Q3 (R2).
Current through Q6 (R7) is same as current through Q4 (R4).
Current through Q5 (R5) should also be same as current throug Q7 (R6).
All the clues are here. Good luck.

Hi PP
Thank you for the information about current and the shunt caps. I will add the caps to the pre-amp today and looking forward for better sounding quality by adding these caps.

Hi Spencer
Thank you for prompt reply. In order to make the amp meets the original standard I am looking for the JFets with correct Idss in the market which I wanna use for the next version of this pre-amp. I will keep posted please stay with me to share your valuable suggestion.

Hi PP
I added two 0.033uF Polyester caps (this is what I have on hand) to each channel today. After adding these caps the sound is more clear and detail than before. The improvement is very noticeable. I will try the 1000P in the next few days when I have time to buy it from the shops.
Thanks
Chan

Look at ur JFETs.
They will say the number and below some letters, or they will have a color dot on them. That tells you the range of Idss for the batch they come out of.
If it is letters, likely: B, G, V, BL
Blue, Green, Violet, Black... there may be other color ranges.
Look up the mfrs sheet to see the Idss range they are in.
You can also discover the Idss of the JFET by using it as a current source.
Look up the circuit - can't be simpler... place JFET in series with a resistor of a value that will draw just more than the IDSS you want when in series with a given voltage, check the vdrop (current) of just the resistor. Then insert the JFET current source measure the vdrop, that equals the IDSS.

Hi bear
Thank you for the information of measuring the JFETS. It is very useful for constructing this pre-amp.

Another way is to simply tie the source and gate pins together to ground and connect the drain through an ampmeter to say +15vdc. The current you read will be the device's Idss.
You do have to be careful not to exceed max. dissipation for any device you test though.

Hi hags
Thank you for your post. In order to avoid mis-understanding a drawing diagram will be greatly appreciated if possible.
Best Regards😉

Well, I don't have a picture/drawing, but how about a link?
This is the first of two excellent articles on jfets, I would go so far as to say required reading.

Hi hags
The link has the same problem. I got the following message:

hags, there's a "," coma in your link
I also have same problem accessing from china
use anonymous proxy, this one is free: youhide.com , I tried and it works for :

Hi,
post 53 has an extra "." that must be deleted from the end of the address.
Hags,
remember to check your links while the 30minute edit option is available.

Sorry, I did check it for spelling but not punctuation, even when pointed out it's hard to see.
Hopefully the links posted by others work without problem.
