Once the N channels are ready to ship (no ETA yet), I will post a notice here with the details of the second lottery window. As much notice will be given as reasonably possible, I think a week makes sense.
If you're really keen and missed out on joining the list of entrants in the batch 1, check this thread every few days for news.

Hi Jason,
How to check if I am on the batch 1 list? I search the thread and came out no match.
Thanks

If you posted in the lottery entry thread, you'll automatically be entered in the second drawing for "batch 2 / N channel" amps.
If you didn't post in that thread, keep an eye on this thread for an announcement about the time / date / window in which that thread will again open for 15 minutes so you can add yourself to the entrants list.

I have a feeling now that all of this pretty vfet jewelry is being shown off, a lot more people have come up with a good rational as to why they need this amp. I am curious to see how the 2nd entry goes. Should be exciting!
I think we need
- a 15 minute window for people who don’t want one but want to be able to change their minds later
- a 15 minute window for people who think a ‘Nelson Pass’ is a secret advanced chess move
- a 15 minute window for the children who don’t know what an amplifier is but might want one in 2 decades
- fish, I almost forgot about fish, they love music and technology but have such a hard time finding WiFi. They will need an open ended window
We should include every person who has ever visited the site...but we still might miss people so I think the only real way to be fair is to automatically enter every living human plus most dogs and dolphins

Missed the 1st one because of Medical issues, and did not want to intrude on the buy outside NA, so hopefully will make it into the next one. If I win great, if not, I will have a chance to build a Singing Bush, version of Ben Mah's L'Amp, or some LU variation.
So the future looks bright and I hope everything comes up roses. What a great learning experience for a novice like myself.

The last few people have posted in order to get a notification when this thread is updated. The correct way to do this is click on the "Thread Tools" link at the top of the thread, and then "Subscribe to Thread".
That will save everyone in this whole thread getting an email about your bump. In order to prevent a stream of such events, I will close this thread for now. If you want to be notified about the next window just manually subscribe to this thread.
There is only one list of entries, which is everyone who has posted in the VFET lottery entry thread. Everyone who is already in that thread, will remain in that thread. There won't be a new thread, just a window opened to join the existing thread. If you already posted in that thread, you can relax as your entry already exists. There is no need to enter a second time, you're already automatically entered for the second round.

Second round of the VFET lottery
The second round of VFET lottery winners will be drawn in a few days time.
IF YOU ALREADY ENTERED DURING THE FIRST ROUND
You don't need to do anything. Your post (and username) is already in the VFET lottery entry thread. There are no new entry threads, that is the one and only thread and you're in there already.
If you posted in that thread, please do not post in it again. Please also help us manage our server load by avoiding the forum completely during the next window.
IF YOU DID NOT ENTER DURING THE FIRST ROUND
We know there are a few members who were not able to enter during the first round for various reasons. We're opening one final window so those members can participate in the second round lottery.
The VFET lottery entry thread will be opened at 9PM UTC on Thursday 29th July 2021. It will close after 15 minutes.
Everyone who previously posted in this thread or followed the instructions in my post above to subscribe to this thread, should have received an email notification about this post and the window. Due to the overwhelming response to the first round, no further announcements will be made about this window.
VFET-less round 3 for people who already own VFETs will be announced once the dust has settled from round 2.
This "lottery discussion" thread will remain closed for now, and will be opened up again after the advertised lottery entry thread has closed.
