Can someone hip me on how to match JFETs? I saw it on geofx but I couldn't visualize how to build it

thanks

Try a search and wait for little reply.. I'm still wondering why my "improved Jfet matcher" doesn't work...

If you have trouble try this, not as good as GEO matcher but maybe helpful.
Bias your fets as buffers, that is, 1M from base to gnd, drain to Vcc, a resistor R from source to gnd.
Use different values of R, say 1k, 5k and 10k for each fet. Measure voltage drop across R and write it down for each fet. You can get a close idea if they are matched or not.
And socket your fets :D

Thanks for your help/ I think I'm gonna match em by ear. I was just curious about it.

Thanks
