Can the level of pleasure derived from music be measured?

@tylermunns@ I borrowed the idea from a scene between Matthew McConaughey and Jodie Foster in the movie Contact.

My level of pleasure is proportional to how many Belgians🍺 I imbibe. Happy listening 🎶

Not  much for measurements can look good but still sound bad 

look at tube amps they are no where near as clean in measurements but we all know tubes have their own Sonic goodness.

It's Schroedinger's cat hissing at us...

The fact that we are performing measurements affects the subject, and places the subject under stress. The added attention and stress to perform will change the emotional state, greatly skew the results. So, while we will get readings, they will refer to how a person feels under duress, and will provide data that is more useful about the stress tolerance levels of the subject.

We would get inconclusive data, as the state we want to relate is is the state where there is no duress, no stress affecting the "results".

No. #1 you'd need an MRI and #2 there would be no way to distinguish between pleasure derived from the tune vs. the sonic quality of said tune.

"a true audiophile hierarchy can not be claimed"  sure it can. I'm 13th.
