Because a hold-until-reset peak meter only tells you about one full

And this slow decay peak one tells you what useful information exactly ?
And a distraction of meaningless false information .

An alternative would be for the meter display showing the peak to stay
lit for a fixed time, then be replaced by the next peak and so on. This
would give a flashing display, which would be more distracting and even
less informative than the slow drop until the next peak.

Or maybe someone knows a better way of doing the job of showing the
peaks and current average level on one meter?




Yeah, the peak segment holds for a few seconds, then goes out.
