Blameless style lateral MOSFET amp

2. When the amp clips +V, Q5 base current will try to feed R3 without any collector current and that will interfere with the Q9 base voltage. I put a resistor in the base of Q5 to limit this effect to less than the total current from R2.

Note that the VAS current source should slave from the diff-amp (LTP) current source and not the other way around. Otherwise the Q5 base resistor does not fix the problem.
 
Take that!

And the diodes?
Some people create a temporary include file and post it as well as the asc.

Originally I also appended the LTC bjt etc files. There can be minor issue with multiple versions of certain parts when you use an include. And I am struggling with 4+ folders where files have landed and I need to clean up my system. LTC needs a %path% system.

Simulations are promising so far. Meanwhile I finished a KiCAD layout on 100x100mm doubled sided pcb and will order today, possibly from All-PCB. The moment of truth comes nearer!🙂
