Looks killer in that enclosure! How closely were you able to match the fets? Just finishing up the build myself with some 2n5952’s, but haven’t been able to get them exactly matched. Vgs(off) 2.38/2.39/2.40/2.42 is the best quad I can find, so hopefully that’ll do (famous last words ).

I didn't have any 2N5952s when I built this, so I matched a set of 2N5457s with Vgs(off) -1.31V, which isn't very high, but the highest matched set I could find through my stash. Sounds decent, but not super lush.

A bad stone or small stone is what you seek, with the benefit of no matching of parts. Lush and better range of speeds

Interesting, thanks for the recommendation!

Just finished mine and the 5952's in the range I had seem fine. The trimmer is narrow in its sweet spot, but other than that it sounds great. The switches pop a bit loud, but I guess that must be normal.
