transistor vs. op-amp buffer

[nero1985]

whats better? a J201 buffer or the op-amp buffer?

thanks

Ok, I'll bite since you said in your other thread that you read my page first before going to GGG. 

Before building the op-amp version, I breadboarded both.  I found the op-amp one to be a bit cleaner for what I was wanting and just went with it.  Either one will work though.

Opamp is way better at power supply noise rejection

Hi.
Very little difference.
I like simple things, so I'd go for the JFET.
With something like the Stratoblaster, you can have a buffer and a booster in one simple design.  Just switch the bypass cap in (boost) or out (buffer).
cheers
