Just to make sure I've got this right...

There will be a complete kit for both versions (differing only in polarity) available from the store -- including the VFETs and chassis?

I've been looking at picking up an old VFET-based receiver (B1/B2 or TA-N88), but sounds like this may be an even better route?!

Amazing. Thank you, Mr. Pass. I can't wait to get my hands on one (hopefully it doesn't sell out before I can grab one)!

Out of curiosity, how does this differ from previous "DIY Sony VET" designs and docs from 5 years ago? It seems this is the first time it's being offered as a complete kit, and operates in SE Common Drain mode, but are there other obvious/notable differences?

I've caught up a bit on the history, and just thought it'd be fun to have a bit more complete picture of the history up to this point. :)
