After you do this stuff long enough, you get to where you use certain tools for things, you know, like you latch on to a favorite eq for snare and a favorite comp for bass, etc. But after a while you get curious as to why you happen to like that sound and what it is that's getting you there.
The other thing is that I spent a huge chunk of my career in audio/acoustic test and measurement, so I guess I just can't leave it alone! But oh! You're probably asking what the data means to me, eh? Well, not much, yet anyway. There's not really enough there to draw any conclusions on. These are all decent products, but not one of them is decent on everything. The data is insightful, although it's only one minute aspect of a bigger picture as there are so many other parameters to look at. There's a bit of black art in things like filter design, so it's partly my appreciation for those who endeavor to do it well.
There's another aspect. Doing tests like this can be a great insomniac pastime. Beats the hell out of watching bad television! So I'll plug at it once in a while and who knows, maybe something of interest will come out of it.
Cheers.
