I did not know that there are any modern V-FET designs. As I understand, the V-FET transistors were available in 1970-1980 and were not produced since there. From what I heard that the DIY people who try to do V-FET amps buy old Sony and Yamaha machines and pull the transistors from there. It would be interesting if someone today would make V-FET only not at the consumer mass-marker level as Sony/ Yamaha but at the level of high-end audio paranoia, with more interesting power supply. From a different perspective the B-2 has no single capacitor in signal path and everything is DC-coupled. Perhaps it would worth to put in there the contemporary better Schottky rectifiers, better filtration and to see how it would go. I do not really have too much motivation to do it with MiniMe but what I move to my new larger place and would need much more power for lover bass then something like B-2 will be the things that I consider, unless Adrian will convince me to build a tube bass-DSET around 3CX1500A7/8877 or GS-35B or GU-48 or around the subject of my wet high-power dream: RB300-3CX or 3СХ300А1
