Do you trust your ears more than measurements?

Absolutely - 100%, but I do use long term listening when making decisions.  Listening is how I experience music through my system, and how I determine what sounds best. Even if what I like doesn’t measure how someone else prefers, it’s still what I like to hear.

I'm assuming and hoping the manufacturers of my equipment do some measurements but there is no reason for me to do any at home.  I setup by ear the way I prefer it.  I definitely spend some time doing that.  Listening is a skill. Hone stand learn to trust it
