Do you trust your ears more than measurements?


I have a lot of audiophiles that say the ear test is the best. I believe them. Some of us have to do blind tests etc. I’m in the camp of trusting your own ears because no matter how something measures. Is it more pleasing to you with a particular cable, placement tweak etc. What are your thoughts everyone?

Measure?  "Yes!"

But, I've yet to meet an audio analyzer that ...

... experienced listening fatigue

... got it's power plug tapping when totally engaged and fully resonating with the music

... got misty-eyed when a trailing female vocal is rendered "just right"

Listen Twice.  Measure Once.
