As the title says, why does the audio industry like linear transformers so much? Based on all the results we keep seeing with mains leakage and such, wouldn't it be much simpler and cheaper to just put in a decent SMPS? I mean, basically all the chart toppers (AHB2, THX 789/887, SP200, Purifi, Hypex, SMSL M500, for example) use an SMPS...
Edit: On top of that, linear PS also tend to be very sensitive to the incoming AC sine wave, which means needing power conditioners or some sort, and preventing the use of such gear with line-interactive UPSes.
