Specifications VS Sound Quality


Surely, I am normally aware of some specs like power output, THD and, maybe some other basics.
But by knowing specs of a component do you really have an understanding of what a piece sounds like?
Maybe that is an obvious no. Not being particularly technically oriented, I want to hear it.

people who want you to buy their stuff write the numbers... there is little standardization, even less honesty... people who know numbers can lie with numbers as well as people who know words lie with words

the only numbers i trust would from be top notch makers with immaculate reputations, and comparing gear WITHIN their line - then the specs would presumably be on the same basis, and MAY tell you something useful about a vs b...

nothing substitutes for testing in home, in system
