    Description

    1ea Real Sony 2SJ18 V-FET.
    The Sony V-FET amps are famous for their tube like sound; the only issue with the amps was the diodes that took out the V-FETS’s when they failed. The TA 4650 integrated amp was the sweet spot in the lineup. I wanted an upgraded version, the only issue is I had a DOLT set the bias on mine- I asked him not to use a variac to start it up, but he went ahead and did it… it blew three of the V-FET’s! I bought another 4650 to get fresh V-FET’s but one was blown, so I bought another. I now have three good V-FET’s left (tested). If you have a 4650 with a blown FET here is your chance to make your amp work without the crap shoot of buying another amp! This listing is for ONE (1) V-FET, there are two available. Each comes with two original screws and a new heat spacer (see photo) See my other auction for a working 2SK60's. (if you buy both I will refund shipping on one)
    Here is the post of the upgrade project:

    Do not even think about buying one of these and returning your junk, they are marked and documented and I will see to it you are kicked off Ebay.
