The exact setting of the pot doesn't seem to affect output level any - just as long as it's not too close to the drain voltage it's OK. Need to do more ...
It seems like the J202 is a bit quieter than the 2N4416. The trimpot adjustment to set the gate bias doesn't affect noise at all, though. So basically I'm...

I'm still using 5.6k source/drain resistors - that's another round of testing, to try 2.2k and other values (should be easy enough if I can find a 10k stereo...
Wow - 2.2k is definitely quieter than the 5.6k I'd been using. Different results on the trimpot, too. And... this is the interesting bit... I'm getting much...
I have just returned home from the 117th Convention of the Audio Engineering Society, and while there I visited the Audio Technica booth. The had a number of...
Hey everyone! So, I finally got my second shipment of capsules in the mail, and I promptly finished my second mic. (My intent has been to build a stereo pair...

Ah, OK, I think I see what's going on. I'm really measuring across the FET, as opposed to one of the resistors. Must be less ambiguous in the future. ... -- ...
What model capsules are you using? 5.6K is best for the Panasonic and similar capsules... dayVel and I are currently working with some Transound capsules that...

Good question, but I am taking overall output into account. For this round of noise testing, I'm using my most sensitive but least-calibrated tools, my ears....
