Can the level of pleasure derived from music be measured?

@terry9

Far enough. I guess that may give it a bit of credibility. 😀👍

If you trust my memory!!

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!
