I do believe in measurements. Sometimes, I wonder if the right measurements are provided with reviews.
The ASR crowd often point to measurements to decide what is better. Whilst I don't discount the measurements provided, not sure the measurements provided tell the whole story. Some of the gear measurements do not fully correlate to our actual listening results. We all have auditioned gear where the measurements point to one conclusion, but listening reveals a different conclusion. (Harsh, steely, strident, etc.)
Very little gear today actually measures poorly. Some obviously measure better than others, but again, correlating measurements to actual listening only goes so far. We all have different preferences, and those preferences often have the most influence on what we like.
