Just a silly playing around.

Has 9nV/rt-Hz input-referred noise... not as good as compound NPN/PNP.

But has 0.03% Distortion with no overall feedback loop.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

How else are you gonna get 400 volts p-p swing with two active parts?

Easy, you do it with one.

Fine, if your input doesn't mind floating on -400.

That one is 800Vpp, and 400Vpp isn't necessary symmetrical.
And you're having a bit of crossover distortion with the optos.

Speaking of dreadful amplifier:

Yep, Just prior to the KYAG ritual ;-)
