Until everyone agrees on what an objective value is

then those terms are very subjective....

"Natural," "musical," "transparent" are subjective terms.

Those flowery terms are not defining, nor are they implying (universal) superiority, - they are terms that describe an individual's preference.
Individual preferences are outside objectivity, - always.

You can say that the Manley Stingray is a tubed, integrated, amplifier. That is an objective fact.

You can also say that the Manley Stingray presents an absolutely lifelike transparency and accurate reflection of the recording: well, you're stating a subjective interpretation at that point. Wherein one can plug in an even better Manley NeoClassic amplifier and someone else will assert that it is lovely sounding. Or, someone could plug in a pair Audio Physic speakers and warm up the whole sound of the whole system, making it "less wonderful"

"Asylums with doors open wide,
Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
