Any suggestion as to the follower resistor value? That's not specified in the MOSFET Follies, although a 220 ohm gate stopper IS suggested. As a very rough quick and dirty calculation, the plate voltage in my SCA-35 phono stage runs around 200 volts with a 260 volt B+, so a 100 kilohm follower resistor should give a bit less than 2 mA through the MOSFET, which will result in a resistor dissipation of 0.4 watts (use a 2 watt resistor) and a MOSFET dissipation of 0.12 watts which should be safe. Of course I tend to design conservatively. Not a great deal of current drive but certainly better than the 12AX7.
