Sorry, but I'm not understanding your point.
For me, listening to music is the ultimate way to keep my mind busy. Complexity and subtlety in music are key elements to my enjoyment. It is the very focus on the music that gives me pleasure and brings out the emotional tie.
Sometimes I just play back music in my head in solitude. I have a game where I play back selections by walking through the alphabet. And that can as easily bring tears to my eyes with some content as hearing it with my ears.
Maybe I'm just weird... :)

If you reach the point where my late wife was (and maybe you already have) you won't need a musical instrument and certainly not a stereo. You will hear everything in your head. Personally, the only time I achieved this was hearing about 30 seconds of the start of a Mahler symphony in a dream. As good as hearing it live, but then I work up. Unfortunately, I didn't figure out who was conducting. :-)
I don't believe we will ever get to the point where we can measure everything that people hear by measuring audio components, since people hear with all their senses and also their mind. An identical pattern of sound waves can be perceived differently depending on context. I believe all careful listeners appreciate this, but unfortunately not all audiophiles are careful listeners.
