Long skinny builders thread

I have gotten as far as I can go before making two important decisions:
1) What to use for Q2?
2) What to use for Q5?

My options for Q2 are, use nothing, 2SJ109 V grade, 2 x 2SJ74 with IDSS in the 10mA range or purchase 2SJ74 with IDSS in the 7 to 8mA range.

My Options for Q5 are use a matched pair of Semisouth SJEP120R100 that I got from the EUVL group buy or unmatched SJEP120R100 that I got from another source.
For Q1 I am using 2 x 2SJ74 from the EUVL group buy and for Q6 I am using a matched pair of Semisouth SJEP120R100 that I got from the EUVL group buy.

Decisions, decisions.

Thanks Dennis, appreciated.
Cool pics Jeff, life sure seems to go into ultra fast mode when you have kids.
I had an opportunity to go fishing with my son yesterday morning.
He just turned 30, I could not help to wonder how that happened so fast.
Great memories though, I remembered when he found the Klenex box and how amazed he was that, as you pull them out, another one appeared.
Laughed my *** off and it was worth every penny after picking the mess up and throwing it away.

The F1J does not have a bipolar supply like many other FW amps, so each channel has its own secondary winding and its own bridge rectifier and filter caps. The caps across the rectifiers' outputs are additional smoothing caps. The idea is to have a cap as close to the rectifiers as possible.
