Agreed by me.
There is (at least) one thing a "listening test" does, weeds out the the odd and infrequent misbehaviour of a system, a big "clunk" once in a while tha would not be picked up (or more likely not noted by the technician) for example.
My current amplifier for the HiFi one of those 15 pin "huge transistor" stereo IC jobs in a die cast box, works well and (dare I say) "sounds" as good as anything I have had. The "pre amp" is just a switch and pot affair, remote controlled by RF (saves all that pointing around of the remote), I used to have tone controls but all the available twiddling took away the time to enjoy the programme. The very best improvement in my "HiFi" is the remote balance control, great for tweaking the "sound stage" centre to make a radio play fit properly.
Oops, I have strayed off topic being rational...
