i ended up getting 16 of the smd ones from aion fx. Put them in my plexi drive clone biased they all to 5v and my little fender sounded like a wall of Marshall’s.
THEY WERE FAKE. They weren't even JFETS..... I reported them as counterfeit on eBay, even sent an email to the local detective's office. Got my refund....
The 100 that I got from Newark are real, but they're smd, no adapter. Bought 100 adapters from CE Dist and my hot air soldering gun will arrive Monday........
oh WOW, hey, the manufacturer keeps an online reference of it's customers AND their current onhand quantity updated every few minutes. Right now four of their distributors have these in stock!
As an update, I bought some of these and all the ones I tested were fake, BJTs according to my DCA75. It was a cheap experiment, but another data point for anyone else. He did offer to refund me if I shipped them back to China on my dime...

All you have to do is go into the purchases section, and click on Return to Vendor, then click on Not as Described. At that point THEY have to pay the freight, and you get your money back. One thing to watch out for. If the vendor messages you, even to say "you're a horses arse" you have to respond, or an eBay bot will decide the 'dispute' in the vendor's favor. So just reply "you sent counterfeit items, refund my money." I've even reponded "hey I know the game, if I don't respond you don't have to refund me. So I will continue to respond to all of your messages, so you might as well save both of us some time AND GIVE ME MY DAMN MONEY BACK YOU THIEF"
