The only people who should be using "ears" as a primary SE tube amp evaluation tool are people like DF and the MLP design team or similar "professional" audio people with many years of competitive experience at trade shows.
The "average joe" SE tube amp builder who is at a "novice" level should be learning some FFT and scope skills to do basic circuit qualifications.
That way gross mistakes can be avoided that waste a lot of time.
Subjective "ear" testing can augment measurements as another level of refining a basic tube amp circuit.
