the 2 channel pot to do balanced is the same crap eddie current uses. it can be made to work, but causes all sorts of problems. All 4 wires are with respect to ground so not what you think. Also you need a reverse log pot for it to work right, and no one makes those.
electrostat, dn2540 goes boom at anything over 400v. and its a depletion mode part, so not a great idea. what you are doing is a hev70 copy, look at the original for better ideas. also the opamps driving the mosfets have the feedback wrong.
