BTW just read your post on recording recomendations in the other forum and thanks; we don't get much in the way of music recommendations here so when someone offers something new it's greatly appreciated. On the DIY forum I find the thread discussing the JFET amp but no offering of a joint buy for parts. I know I am missing something in your earlier post regarding that. Just follow that link exactly as written and there should be info there is that right? The JFET is a nice idea because I like the Class A amps almost as much as tubes and they are a lot less high maintenence; are you going ahead with the project if I may ask?
