"I would really like to see a calibrated measurement on an AP box or equivalent of some audio distortion caused by this regulator over that one."
That's fairly easy to accomplish, but common measurement techniques don't tell the whole story. We all know that two amps with vanishingly low distortion, ruler flat response, similar damping factors, etc. can sound remarkably different. That's not to say specifications are unimportant. They do tell us about amplifier performance in critical areas, and I consider basic measurements to be a necessary step in the process of optimizing an amplifier. But something else is also in the mix, something we're not measuring. So, while I agree that the measurable effects of regulation are important, scientifically controlled listening tests must always be the final arbiter.
