Audiopolous,

EEeeeek another EE that has a poor metrological back round.
Very few EE's have training in metrology and little is presented
is usually simple scopes power meters and the like.
The idea of using 'high-end' analog test equipment on audio is
to most people aberant; maybe so, but it is useful and then one
can 'measure'-'record' the test responses and correlate
these the 'measirements' to acoustic phenomina.
SWR, S-parameters, RF charting -polar-Smith, etc. are
far above the need of audiophies you can not use thses thing for
audio,, such is the attitude, and yes you can!

The only real need is to collect data from a very large base
of listeners to get an useful 'subjective' collection of what
is considered good sounding >> high fidelity.
Fidelity is 'measurable' we ( all in general) just have not
learned how to apply the new equipment nad understand what is
'displayed' in refernce to audio characteristics.
