In Reply to: To designers they do. Not so much with consumers who trust their senses. posted by ppopp on January 23, 2015 at 17:30:48:
Measurements matter. But many of today's measurements and/or how we use them often don't correlate with what we hear(of course that assumes a golden ear). Does that mean throw out measurements? No! It means learn to use the ones we have now better and also to find new ones. The sooner we do that the less reliance of the prophet's Golden Ear.
By the way I have seen graphs and measurements work quite well. I've seen a friend pick a cartridge from a frequency curve and a square wave(not knowing what the pickup was when he said it was good). I've seen the same friend design speakers on a computer in half a day and they were finished except for fine tuning that was just fine tuning the final colors of the speaker(since none is uncolored) to fit his own tastes.
Some measurements work for some people who actually know what they're doing. And if we keep working on the problems they will continue to be even better tools. Besides without even our current 'poor' measurements we couldn't even design the products that are then judged by Golden Ears.
