Better eyes than I! These things appear to be about 1/4th the size of the SMD Jfets!

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.

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!!
