Gotcha... Don't the big resistors add a bunch of noise?

My suggestion was to replace the op amp follower in the simulation with a voltage-controlled voltage source where the gain can be set directly, to 0.9 say - this should make the notch much easier to see. (If the follower/buffer has gain 'k', the Q of the filter is apparently Q = 1/(4*(1-k)), so it blows up with k exactly 1.)
