Measurements matter whenever it's convenient

Case in point - the Japanese amplifiers of the 70s and 80s that measured vanishingly low Total Harmonic Distortion, you know, on the order of 0.0001%. These amps sounded quite bad relative to many other amps with rather higher THD, notably tube amps with THD circa 0.05%. If you can't go by THD what, pray tell! can you go by? Frequency response? Slew rate? If we all went by measurements we'd all have Kenwoods and Pioneers.
