I've had some pretty eye-opening (humbling) experiences with back-to-back sighted versus blind listening for digital sources. I'm now convinced the differences are so subtle, it is better to rely on measurements than sighted listening as a guide to line level equipment. Also feature set is a key factor too obviously.
I don't apply the same logic to loudspeakers because their job is more complicated, they work in a variable context (listening space) and they're subject to on-going debate about psycho-acoustics. So I don't trust just measurements for loudspeakers. (Also, present loudspeaker technology is quite compromise-laden compared to our electronics, but that's perhaps another point.)
