Do you trust your ears more than measurements?

I can almost always tell a tube amp from a solid state amp.  I can always tell vinyl from other sources (and no, it's not because of clicks and pops).  I can tell the difference and tube amps and vinyl sound better to me.  Granted, I had to work my way up the upgrade ladder to get where I wanted to be, but measurements don't really matter to me, unless I need a 1.5 Meter interconnect as opposed to a 1 Meter one.  Otherwise, I trust my ears.

Further on this-- whenever I decide to mess with the placement of my speakers, I always mark where they are currently situated.  Why?  Because I always go back to that placement, not because of the measurement, but because that's where they have always sounded best to me.

one last thing.  I get what people say about bias. But my ears are not biased. My ears will not let my mind lie to me! lol . If smthg sounds good it sounds good. If it cost more or cost less good is good if I can save and get better sound then great. If not I’m paying more. Some people also have a price bias. If it’s more expensive I tell my mind that my cheaper stuff sounds better. But sometimes my ears will not let my mind lie to me. lol 

@hilde45 , @decooney   Well said, both of you.

I use measurements for what they're good for, and use my ears for the rest.  Most everything I have is vintage, so it winds up on the bench for safety and performance checks.  If it's possible, I will listen first, then measure.  We don't listen to square waves on purpose, but that is one measurement from the old days that is still a valid predictor of sonic performance.  

Measure once. 
Listen twice. 
Repeat. 

It’s the opposite of construction.
