Hi Tom!
My sentiments exactly.
Many years ago a fellow audio club member built an amp for another member using just meters and specs. Although everything spec'ed out properly and when it was turned on it sounded awful. I mean awful. So there he went looking for a problem and there was none except for the fact that it sounded awful. Another member suggested a few small but almost insignificant changes to the circuit(which the builder thought to be nonsense). The builder almost blew it off but with a little persuasion from some of the other club members and the owner of the amp, the builder made the changes suggested. Turned the amp completely around. This is where a meter or scope is not as good as your ears. After measuring the amp again, it didn't measure dead on the way it was before the changes, but it wasn't far either.
Meters, money, etc. doesn't always mean success.
