A forumfriend of mine, Bernd Jansson, is building a pair of watercooled Son of Zen with PP-coils. This is a pic from the initial testrun:

As he wants the input to be cap-free, DC-free and high-impedance, we discussed a buffer. The reason is that a S&B TVC will be used.

By adding two NJFs in a kind of currentgenerator-mode this could be solved in a very simple way. The prototype will probably look like this:

Theoretically this model looks good with for some reason indications of lower 3rd harmonic than the original.
 
Have done some more sims and compared to "Zen Revisted" the results are on par but not worse. Fu-3 indicates to be somewhat higher in the buffered ones though. So technically it will probaly be good enough. Will have to wait for Bernd to test.
