RE: Until everyone agrees on what an objective value is

Even in its heyday as something similar to a science, back when reviewers who used measurement instruments were considered valuable contributors to the hobby, not fringe fanatics, hifi didn't chase the accuracy you're talking about. Studio monitoring systems don't even chase that accuracy directly. Microphones don't hear the way people do, so it is compromised before it even gets to the monitoring system. The accuracy you CAN chase, however, is fidelity to the source (high fidelity ring a bell? Not the excellent John Cusack movie...). That's a goal well worth chasing, a goal we'll have to count on the pros to pursue, because audiophiles, their vendors and their press have mostly abandoned it to subjectivism.
