I'm sorry, "Stripmaster", sorry to respond so lateIt's called "Strip-Eze"
I am going to say most will not hear any difference between those J-fets. All are excellent transistors so use what is best for yourself, in stock or easier to solder for you.I like the idea of smd to have the sensitive part as small as possible. It was just that use of the 2SK170 theoretical should be a fraction more quiet than 2SK209. I then discovered that I had this octet of LSK170A and my assumption was that those was on par with 2SK170. But that seems not to be the case if the only advantage is that they are easier to solder than the 2SK209 ......then I prefer the 209
Yes, and when a client says "and then I'm done" I respond, "you're not done till you're 6' under."Yeah, the Pearl 2 was my gateway drug WRT phono preamps. I'm hoping this one will turn out to be my lifetime supply.
Hey 6L6, nice table! Have you ever tried a MMC1 or 2 in it? Those are really terrific!
The scene in Blues Brothers in which Ray Charles takes out a pistol and takes a shot at the kid trying to steal a guitar also comes to mind.Funny, if not politically incorrect, story. Many years ago when I worked at Tweeter, we had a training about B&O and the point was made that the engineering is first rate, it is not just a pretty face, and I chimed in, " Yeah, you know Stevie Wonder didn't buy it for the looks!"
I crack me up!
Yeah, but your volcanoes on the top side are beautiful! Well, my soldering skills are improving but I can see that I have a ways to go. That shouldn't be a problem as long as Papa etal. keep em coming!They are through-plated holes, either side is fine. 90% of my joints are on the bottom.
