Simulation isn't fast but if you let it complete and do an FFT on the last 30 seconds, it's 80dB down at all unwanted
harmonics.
There do however seem to be unwanted sidebands close in either side of 1KHz
Any suggestions for improvement?

Not that hard to make !

He did. The .asc file is a circuit diagram. I've looked at it and run the simulation - if only for 200 seconds rather than 300
seconds.

The FFT says that sine wave is as good as he claims.

The circuit diagram  doesn't make it clear what it's various parts are there to do - it makes sense to group the components in a
way that lets somebody looking at the circuit diagram get some feel for what the components are doing.

And it you are using the LT1994 it makes sense to read the data sheet carefully enough to notice that the Icom pin 2 should be
bypassed with at least 100nF to ground.

Yes there's no way I would use a part without reading the data sheet.
Pass 1 fount the 0.1uF but I hadn't got around to adding it.
Pass 2 found that I couldn't go above +/- 6V
Pass 3 which I haven't done yet would take a lot more time and I probably won't do it because I doubt I'll be able to build this
for
real.

John May's circuit makes it clear that the second FET isn't strictly necessary. There are cheaper ways of getting rid of the
even-order harmonics.

The version I got privately certainly did.

Just curious, it's not a competition.

Actually, I've decided that the second FET is a bad idea. Two different FETs need two different gate drive voltages to give the
right channel resistance, and the only guide you've got to that is the amplitude of the single sine wave you are producing. A
large number of different pairs of FET gate drive voltages could give you the same stable amplitude.

If you monitored the second harmonic component of the output you would have a second independent output which could let you
optimise both gate dries at the same time, but that would be an unnecessary refinement.

Now approacing 90dB if you believe the simulation with with this experimental circuit.
You'll want to find something else to do while it simulates.
How to inprove it further?
