We do try to fit solutions into existing paradigms. I like to think about alternative pickup mechanisms which do not involve moving a magnet through a coil. An optical cartridge with embedded IC comes to mind.
Interestingly, I think some manufacturers already have strong proprietary measurement tools that are highly tuned to assessing perceptual and experiential components of music experience via playback equipment. I've spent a part of my career doing perceptual testing and sensory testing, so I've seen some pieces of the process. These measuring tools are trade secrets. They are not widely shared with competitors (with the possible exception of the Canadian speaker consortium), much less the general public. But a great deal of perceptual testing has occurred and does impact on design and engineering goals within these organizations.
Unfortunately, since they are undisclosed, these measurements are not of use to us poor consumers trying to make decisions based on specifications.
