I'm routinely soldering tiny wires on 1206 smd caps and using them that way, through hole
OK , only pico sizes for lag caps ...
Better eyes than I! These things appear to be about 1/4th the size of the SMD Jfets!

Here's a Mouser cart -
Mouser Electronics
Cart ID # - faf14ca149
This is just the stuffings for STEREO PCBs except one item, the Jfets, which Mouser doesn't have.
DigiKey has a bunch of them... Get (8) for stereo -
2SK209-BL(TE85L,F) Toshiba Semiconductor and Storage | Discrete Semiconductor Products | DigiKey
If anybody wants to make an equivalent full Digikey order please share it here.
Thank you very much!

Reading the Vishay data sheet for them, they state they are specifically made for high end audio, so it would be nice to find out who is actually using them, as Vishay would not be making them if they did not sell.
It seems the "audio version" is a "naked" version of the "real" industrial version. So Z-foil is not specifically developed for audio.
"Real" version:

What difference should encapsulation does to sound? ...voodoo?
Maybe a tiny bit higher capacitance…...but for long time stability the encapsulation is made to protect the resistor.
I sent a message to people who requested PCBs. So far everybody who's asked will be getting a set. 😀
There are still a few left, if you would like a set please see below -
I have the last batch of the purple PCBs that Wayne had made. There are about 50 stereo sets. I will send a set to anybody interested if you pay shipping.
If interested send me a PM with -

They will fit in a standard envelope so I suspect shipping won't be all that much.

Regarding Jfet grade -
I listened through Wayne's presentation video again and he actually said he used the GR, and for the currents used, that totally makes sense. (The BL will work just fine as well, as I've built 3 with them... 🙂 🙂 🙂 They are in a CCS, so it sorta doesn't matter. )
I've updated the Mouser cart - Mouser Electronics Wayne's 2018 line stage project cart
Anyway, I'm so used to everything Pass using BL grade Toshibas that it's a pretty reflexive response for me to blurt out, "Bee Ell !"
Carry on. 😀

I hate to be pedantic but I think we are still missing the "specific Liteon LED specified by Wayne" in the BOM.

On the schematic Jim sent. LTL1CHE
LTL-1CHE Lite-On | Mouser
Possibly on Jim's BOM, I have not checked.

I was able to find it in Wayne's Power Point.
I was only mentioning it for others that might use Jim's Mouser BOM to purchase all the parts. The LEDs will be missing.

LED added to the Mouser cart!! Thanks for catching that!!

It's all good. This is such a good circuit, we can use paperclips

Led
Is there anything unique about that particular Led, I made my order this morning so can't add it.

Hi Jim,
Can I ask is that the same LED as you supplied as part of the kits you put together yourself and sent out about a month ago?
Thanks and regards,
Gary.

6l6, I just PM'd you. Ordered the project cart from Mouser, plus 2 more of the cap I tore up. Think my other order went to Iowa for some odd reason.

It is the one in my kit.
Centurion, I can send you a pair, PM me your address
Thanks Jim! PM sent
I still have the pair of unused red led's that I did not use on my ACA build and was wondering if they would work? I tried to find a part number for them on the ACA thread to see what the specs were but could not locate a specific part number.
