Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open.
Hello, RM!  You mentioned the recent measurements of the Cary SLI100.  Reminds me a bit of one a few years back on the 300SEI.https://www.stereophile.com/content/cary-audio-design-cad-300sei-integrated-amplifier-page-3That's something of a sort of...

Recommendations for headphones under $400?
