Excellent article in Stereophile

This is one of the most interesting articles I've read on harmonic distortion and its affect on sound quality and why the classic THD is a worthless specification.

In recent memory the closest I've seen were a line from Krell and the Sander's Magtech amps, which are quasi regulated. He claims to have solved the amp regulation problem. Anyone seen it?

I have never heard of any of the technology he discusses. It's 27 years later. Anyone have examples to modern gear which might have benefited? I'm genuinely asking, did his ideas succeed?

I'm definitely going to have to go back to those footnotes though.
