Hey,
I think it's a bit noisy amp. I told you about the 1/f noise right? Problem with the most high speed opamps are the fact that they are noisy at the low frequencies as they are only designed to be operated at high frequencies.
If you observe the page 11 figure 18 of the THS4211 specification sheet, you can see noise level rise as the frequency lowers. Compare this to the page 1 figure 1 of the THS4022 specification sheet. You see THS4022 seems about an order lower in appearance. But becareful about the frequency indexing (goes from 100kHz to 10Hz). This means THS4211 is considerably more noisy at audio frequencies. Though this may not be a problem if you stick with unity-gain or low-gain applications.
As Holland mentioned, it has fairly high input quiescent current. This will result in considerably high DC offset on CMOY amp if you simply swap the chip. THS4022 has the same problem. These opamps are designed to drive 50ohm cables and are meant to be operated at this impedance. (i.e. quiescent current though 50ohm resistor will develop negligible DC offset)
What I did was to increase the resistor that connects the positive input to ground to 1k ohm. This should allow problematic but "okay" dc-offset. However, this causes very serious problems for the volume control. Essentially you will need to replace it with one with much lower resistance.
I recalculated the volume control effecitiveness (Vout/Vin or Wout/Win) and realized I need to custom-make the volume control. So you see that Big Honking rotary switch with resistors clustered together like insects.
Listen to Holland about the stabilization and stuff. Essentially you will need to rebuild your CMOY amp from ground up. He didn't tell you but you will probably need to make sure you don't pick up RF interference because you might interfere with cellular phones. (I got THS4022 oscillate enough to interfere with TV set; naughty!
)
I suppose it's a wonderful amp to "play" with because of all the variables. You can tinker all day and not get bored. If you are expecting to get an instant trial, you ought to look elsewhere. (probably couple weekends straight-though) I have been tinkering with it for nearly a half decade.
Try em out with an evaluation board. You need to replace some resistors, but you are pretty much free from worrying about RF circuit designs (people does this professionally so I won't bother competing until later date).

P.S. I recommend using EVM if they have them. They are expensive but cheap compared to all that studying RF and designing RF circuit. I wonder why not many people do this while most people are happy with META board and all that. ... It's almost plug&play and straight trial. Who knows you might like it and keep it. No offense to ambs and other resident kit designers, but I kinda like having an amp that doesn't frequent Ebay.
P.P.S.
