Title: Using BS170's in Serendipity
Post by: raulduke on November 24, 2010, 11:29:52 PM
Hi!

I build a serendipity using a Madbean board. I dont have any 2n7000's so I used BS170's instead.

Is there any problem with doing this?

It sounds great at the mo' with the bs170's in so Im thinking there is no problem?

Ill post some pics in the build report section as well when I get some time.

Ciao for Now.

If you are happy with the sound, then there's no problem :)

Thanks for the reply.

Are 2n7000's and Bs170's essentially the same then?

Or would I notice a difference in sound if I used 2n7000's?

Cheers.

From Wikipedia:

"The 2N7000 is nearly identical to the BS170, except that the leads are arranged differently."
