Can the level of pleasure derived from music be measured?


This is a real question that I think may have a answer.

With the right probes in a brain can't changes in the pleasure

zone be measured? 

I ask because it seems to me that without this measurement

a true audiophile hierarchy can not be claimed.

Thoughts??

Simonmoon,  I could simply say “lighten up”, as my comment was made partly in jest,  Now, 

**** Not all, or even the majority, of audiophiles fit into the common stereotype, i.e., audiophiles get more enjoyment from the gear, than they do the music. ****

I agree and never said otherwise.   Moreover, this supports MY contention; if the humor is to warrant this much analysis.  Built into my COMPLETE methodology (☺️) is consideration of the fact that there are many different levels of what we are trying to ascertain.  Congratulations!  You are in the top…..…gotta be at least top 20% (?).

Some really funny answers here! I put the question in the same category as my sunset rating system:

Last night was pretty good at an 8.75 but the night before came in at 9.138.no contest!
