Ric,
I agree with you that the deciding factor for an audiophile is how the music sounds subjectively to their ears, not how it ought to sound on the basis of science/argument.
The problem is that how the music subjectively sounds to the same individual with the same equipment in the same place differs unaccountably over time due to variable factors. The quality of the incoming AC current, the humidity, the listener's level of stress, fatigue, and digestion, the time of day (absence of distraction at night-time) etcetera. So the level playing field on which we make our listening judgments is seldom level for long and we find ourselves having difficulty explaining the fluctuating impressions and not just between the first and second. We are comprised of chemicals with a nervous system shooting electrical messages at 200mph+ between brain and body so it's hardly surprising that we are hardly the most stable listening platform day-to-day.
People of calm disposition in good, stable health may be less impacted by internal human weather but are equally subject to constantly changing external factors.
