Hello, I need to simulate the following circuit in LTSpice. I made the scheme but I don't know what value to choose for R2 and Cinf in order to have theoretical gain Av=1500. The following constraints are imposed: Vcc=10v; VCM=1.5V; vg it's a sine wave with a frequency of 1Khz and R1=15kOhms. I need to simulate the circuit(transient, AC sweep), choosing an appropriate amplitude for vg in order to minimize output signal distortion(I put 100 uV but idk if it's correct..), and to specify a method for decreasing the voltage gain (without changing R1, R2, VCC or VCM). Implement the change and re-simulate the circuit in order to demonstrate the effect. Here it's the link for the LTSpice .asc scheme:
On the other website I noticed that the output coupling capacitor value is 1 Farad and will take weeks to charge so I reduced it to 0.1uf. Then I noticed that there is no negative feedback to set the DC operation point.
After adding negative feedback it still causes its bottom to have severe clipping.
Capacitors are zeroed during initial transient solution, thus a SPICE simulator has no problems with large capacitors, as long as the large signal operation point doesn't differ from the initial solution.
If clipping occurs, the circuit might take a long time to reach steady state.

Not sure if negative feedback is the intended way of the exercise problem to reduce gain. It's surely an option.
The schematic in post #4 has an error, the feedback voltage is shorted by the Vcm source.

Circuit with feedback could look like below. But consider, that the amplifier can't drive large output voltage into 15k load due to low class A bias current.
