Transistor IDSS question. Can I use this?

[Robisme]

I have a bad transistor in the phono stage of a Yamaha R-1000 receiver.

The transistor is a 2SK170 GR. My question is, can I use the 2SK170 BL.

Note: IDSS classification GR: 2.6~6.5 mA, BL: 6.0~12 mA, V: 10~20 mA

I realize they are matched.

Thanks.

:yes:

BTW, if your buying a bunch of those fets for matching purposes I may be interested in going in on some with you.

There is a place (do not remember right now, but found it with a search)
that sells matched sets of 4 for phono circuits.

If I do go the other route, I will let you know.
