RE: Either that...

Notice I didn't say choose gear based on measurements alone, I said "use measurements as an aid". Of course listening to gear to see if one likes it is the final test but measurements are a useful metric to sort out equipment that is not well designed. For example, the GaN class d module used by several assemblers which measurements show has a load dependent frequency response, something solved by class d amp designers 20 years ago. These modules lack any of the features that exploit GaN fet device advantages, thus, these amps are mostly an outdated design using a device without really getting anything out of it they couldn't have gotten with a standard fet. Just marketing. Measurements point this shortcoming out quite clearly, if you understand measurements enough to make use of them.
