I am currently listening to this:

Another tease of Papa Diy upcoming writing's ?
My dream to see complete schematic and build one.
Mixture of SE Aleph J with M2 front-end but with Vfet.
Fascinating elegant circuit. Music sound like pure honey with Feastrex's.

Are you saying that one of your 2SJ28's has a Vgs of 4.8V and the other has 12.5V (for what current?) Or, are you saying you have a matched pair with Vgs 4.8V (again for what current) :)

In this project, you want the lowest Vgs values possible, since we're using self-bias. You also want adjustable resistance, which is why I used rheostats. 4.8V won't leave much across your SITs, so you'll be wanting to use higher supply voltages.
I have about 50 x 2sj28, they all tested in Mr.Pass'maching circuit by Nagini. B+ = 15v, Id= 0.5A and Vgs were noted and selected pairs and quads. They have Vgs ranges from 4.8 to 12.5V.

Maybe I have to wait for you and study much more about Vfet and circlotron if I want to play Vfet with self-bias, and I hope someone will help newbies the method of calculation self-bias for Vfet too.

eg: If I saw "The SoundHapy" circiut before I would never destroyed JE-123 DL in order to rewind and try the same :headbash:

you got pretty much everything - just choose CCS flavor you like

for starters even resistor will do

and , btw. - I can't see any resemblance to Aleph J

By resemblance to Aleph J i mean not completly,
only because is single-ended power output stage with his active CCS.
Details of the two are different's for sure.
Don't know what transformer is and N channel Vfet , resistors, caps values, CCS semi etc.
Mighty ZM are experienced not piece of cake for me...
Edcors or Jensen's are available & resonable priced
i get few pairs of 2SK82 / 2SJ28 and Tokin 2SK180's.
My decision is not build big greedy balanced amp with 8 pairs so
i try enjoy all minimalistic topologys wonders now.
Have a nice Sunday

Hi, a simple DEF.
Hello claudio52. I find your simple schematic and others like it amazing. Especially when the graph of the electrical characteristics of N-MOS is supeimposed on that of a [re-oriented] P-SIT or N-SIT which is radically different.

It may be possible to lower further your DEF's simulated %THD values by connecting a capacitor between Vout and Vin; granted the output impedance of the signal source is low. This capacitor [say 0.5-15uF] is expected to shunt harmonics from Vout and clean its performance.
 
Do you have some well-matched pairs in the low range?
I have some but they matched pair with 2sk82 for a special party at last, Vfet P.2:). There are only 40pcs which I could feel free to play with them .

Vgs :11,9 ; 11,76; 11,56; 11,36; 10,95; 10,79; 10,52; 10,5; 10,37; 10,3; 9,72; 9,63; 9,5; 9,45; 9,4; 9,3; 9,3; 9,19; 9,06; 9,05; 9,01; 8,98; 8,87; 8,86; 8,84; 8,63; 8,57; 8,49; 8,33; 8,14; 8,02; 7,99; 7,92; 7,83, 7,8, 7,76; 7,68; 7,63; 7,27; 7,26

In my case, can we use auto bias in schm(6). I love "simple" but ......:D



Can you point me to that?
I've try my best but could't find out it right now, sorry !:(

Best Regards
Jamahamvui.

Hollo Antoinel, thank you for the advice. The scheme is just a virtual play. I think Sony VFET are more suitable in the circuits proposed by Rothacher and Nelson Pass. I'm at the last stage of building a Sony VFET amplifier part 2.
Maybe, for a DEF, the SiC depletion mode N channel JFETs are better suited.
