https://youtu.be/N8bSQSFm56ESoundstage Hifi - More measurements? Here’s why:
https://www.soundstagehifi.com/index.php/opinion/1491-more-measurements-heres-why“What Diego doesn’t attempt to do with these measurements -- nor will he in future -- is correlate them with what was heard in the listening sessions for the product reviewed. Although some audio publications try to marry measurements with listening impressions, we don’t feel that’s the right thing to do -- it potentially gives readers bad information. As we’ve found out in the 25 years we’ve been publishing, although there’s broad consensus in the engineering and scientific communities about which measurements are valuable, how that measuring should be performed, and what good and bad measurement outcomes look like in terms of well-engineered, technically proficient products, there’s little consensus about how that translates to what we hear, especially when the differences in measured performance are minute. Therefore, we’d rather let the listening impressions and the measurements speak for themselves, directly to our readers, without trying to mix the two."
