...certainly measurements have their place, and I agree with your assessment. But we shouldn't assume the reviewer is deaf because he/she likes a component that doesn't measure well.
Follow Ups:
I finally saw that review that's mentioned. Basically, the RIAA equalization in play in that amp boosts the bass to lower midrange by 4dB and cuts the upper-midrange to treble by 2dB. So you have a 6dB "lift" toward the bass region -- and that should be obvious on pretty much any recording, because it will make them far more bass-heavy.
That's concerning, but more concerning is the channel mismatch, something we always look at. Good bye proper center image.
The measurements are very telling.

That's good that you don't want to disregard them.
But in the case of certain measurements, such as the frequency response, changes are very easy to hear. Just think about tone controls and the impact they have.
Nobody said anything about deaf, but if an RIAA curve is far from what it should be (there is a prescribed equalization curve), then the deviations should be audible and identifiable for a review. It's in cases like these that the measurements are really telling.
