If it moves me emotionally and I like it...fine.
When I was first getting into this hobby and visiting music stores (decades ago), I appreciated the staff that would let me play my music on the equipment I wanted to compare in my price range and not talk during the demo.
One salesperson who started talking all this audiophile jargon and went off on his own tirade rather than asking me where I was at and what I think I wanted; all I remember thinking is...this guy isn't making it with the girls ( a nicer way to put it).
And, while measurements are a nice comparative use tool, we all have different rooms, responses to what we are hearing, etc. All that said, I do appreciate Erin's Corner, more than some of the others for what he brings to the table.
