I totally agree.
But as you can see there are other people like mcr who are very happy
living in their world of unproven facts.
But who are we to judge, that it's wrong to spend money on linear PSUs

difference, if it makes this

Surely the point is that (without descending into logical positivism)

It's actually the *XTZ* Room Analyzer, and IMHO, a wonderful tool.
However, I'm still learning how to interpret all the graphs (especially
the full range room response with RT60 calculations). It may not be as
sophisticated as some other room analyzer software, but for an
all-in-one-box
I use one , it has a great feature for me in that it suggests parametric
filters I can implement to tighten up bass response in my room. I use a
very good parametric equaliser (z-sys Rdp-1) in my system.
