Do you trust your ears more than measurements?

Time to have a real conversation.  I see a lot of comments about placebo. I hear a lot of comments that cables can’t make differences and components that are a certain price are a waste of money.  I try to comment on what I have heard. I can’t tell the next man that what he is or is not hearing.  I think there is a lot of I know more than you in our hobby.  I wouldn’t not comment on people systems that I haven’t heard. I think it’s arrogant to think that those that don’t agree with you about how THEIR SYSTEM SOUNDS THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD! 

@benanders Perfect response to all caps shouting. 

It is very revelatory to observe that people conflate electrical measurement with physical acoustic measurements and dont even know about psycho-acoustics measurements...

Ignorance rule ...😁

  I concur that I found Hilde comment interesting.  It's always been the ears for me but there is nothing wrong with experimentation and if measurements facilitate that, why not?  However in the end the ears have it.
