I'm getting ready to place a Mouser order, so I'm doing my standard run through the transistors to see if they have anything interesting and came across a couple of JFETs. The first is the 2SK596S from On Semi. It's an audio JFET. The only other thing I came across is that it looks to be a Sanyo part that On has now because they purchased Sanyo semiconductor. Anyone know anything about this one? The data sheet is here,

The second is that it looks like there is a new manufacturer of J201's. Totally overpriced especially compared to using SMD with an adapter board, but I figured I put up the link here anyway in case anyone really needed a PTH J201 and didn't want to risk the scammers.

$3.30 a pop, Jesus!

I guess I'll stick to Smallbear for now.

I've started using SMD with the adapter boards. It works great.

^ this.  Its just not worth the hassle imo.  Of course you can get them cheaper then my store from mouser etc if you buy bulk:
