Great article by Mr. Austin on why measurements are important.

But what happens if measurements do not characterize the real world performance of the DUT?

Stereophile currently does steady state amplifier power measurements. Long ago, they used the Miller Research Amplifier Profiler to characterize the short term peak performance of an amp. Presumably, these measurements more closely correlate with the transient nature of music. Hi-Fi News still uses the Miller profiler.

It seems that a test regimen should be an evolving process that seeks to correlate subjective sonic impressions with test results.
