Approaching 130dB now. Any suggestions for improvement?
It wouldn't be hard to add another four rectifier phases but then I'd have more components than Bill.

This circuit was simulated in LTSpice 24.1.1 with all component updates as of 30th January 2025.

Take a sample near 20s and FFT on current zoom extent with Blackman-Harris window.
It's approaching 130dB at 2kHz and approaching 140dB everywhere else.

I do not know why C13/R28 and similar are needed but without them the simulation speed goes down to us/s
It appears that LT1115 doesn't like being simulated with very little load on its output.
Whether or not that's true in reality I've no idea and it may not be the case in earlier versions of LTSpice.

Simulation speed in 24.1.1 appears to be about twice as fast as earlier versions for this circuit.
