I know SS/BS already has plenty of JFET drive options but thought about it a bit today. The multiple gain stages and the ability to place the filter inbetween / in multiple is really cool and unique. Just wish I could try one.
soooooo yeah ok i guess i'll bite here. i *am* planning on revisiting this circuit for a production build but there will be some changes and you're on the money - one is that i will be replacing some of the tube stages with FETs for a more compact and less complicated build. besides that, there is the ringing which varies a bit from unit to unit and i would like to do what i can to reign it in a little more. time hasn't been on my side for development but it will happen.
