I agree. The problem is that it takes a lot of listening to ascertain that a pice of equipment gives you the "aesthetic equivalence". As you have posted many times, it is really the system that gives it to you. One weak link and you are SOL. I agree that falling asleep is a good criteria, but not the only one. For me it is when I forget about the sound and concentrate on the music.

Dave,
Yes, that too. Also, there are aspects of system performance, such as the "perspective". If I close my eyes in a darkened room and listen to the performance, is it a case of "they are here", or "I am there"? In the latter, the end wall of my room falls away, and I am looking out into the performance space - as if in a theater box. That seems to work for all kinds of music. In the "they are here" situation, the musicians appear to be in the room, in or near the plane of the speakers. That works for somebody accompanying themselves on a guitar, or a string trio; but it's a big leap of imagination to believe the Chicago Symphony has crammed themselves into my room. My brain rejects that, and the illusion falls apart.
I guess what I'm getting at here is the believability of the illusion your system creates. That's a holistic experience, and very much a product of the overall system and room.

I have a few new pieces. When I use them I can hear background instruments, spacial placements, dark silent background, dynamics both macro and micro, bla bla bla. All technically very good.
But when I use my Sherwood I simply "feel" music and that inner feeling of just how beautiful this piece of music IS. A tonal quality of the music.
Now both pieces SHOULD be replicating the source material with little distortion - buuuuut.
Like looking at a winters night star. Admiring the blackness and beauty or just considering its nuclear fusion phase and energy output
