According to Stereophile's Products of 2016 Amplification Component of the Year | Stereophile.com
"The First Watt J2 won more votes and more points than any other product in the Amplification category."
That doesn't surprise me one bit!

Bravo Papa
As one who is saving parts for the someday release of the schematic, are there any recommendations for ranges of idss for the Jfet s that used (I assume) in the front end?
May as well get them picked out and set aside with the outputs. Someday it will be released, and I want to be ready to build!

Now I feel validated
... and I have a stash of R100's also ... just wait until I build a Linkwitz LX521.4, I just need to build 3 more, or perhaps use the R085s for the tweeters ...
well , considering how each and every new (better) gadget is major step forward ,from yesterday's best one , we are now most probably listening Da Muzak somewhere in Proxima Centauri
(plenty of saying about even blind hen finding da grain ... so , yes , J2 prize is lucida intervalla )

Yes, quote from ZV9 article:
"Remarkably, we seem to have made real progress. The original Zen amplifier we measured .6% harmonic distortion at 1 watt, and here we see about 1/100th of that figure. I believe that the best correlation between measured performance and subjective listening occurs with simple circuits, giving rise to the obvious question - does this sound 100 times better?
No, only about 10 times better."
