With my audio choices pleasurably and measurably go hand in hand.
The measure I use are my ears, which if I do my research, talk to others, and then choose upgrades wisely, gives me an increase in pleasure.
Pleasurably better, not measurably better
I have created a new phrase: pleasurably better.
I am giving it to the world. Too many technophiles are concerned with measurably better, but rarely talk about what sounds better. What gives us more pleasure. The two may lie at opposite ends of the spectrum.
I use and respect measurements all the time, but I will never let any one of them dictate to me what I actually like listening to.

I like the phrase @erik_squires It's pithy wisdom. Thanks. |
“Get your measurements perfect and you will have perfect sound.” Sure… if you have them all. The problem is the measurement problem is so oversimplified… it does not come close to characterizing sound as heard. It is like using stick figures to describe a person running across a field… you are only getting the gist.

"Measurements" seem like it refers to a unified set of practices. But it's a plurality; measurements are of different phenomena, with different scales, all with variable bearing on audibility, let alone "pleasing" audibility. Imagine if cooks just took "pro-seasoning" vs. "anti-seasoning" positions -- without any further qualification. It would be laughable.
