Everything is an abstraction, like infinity, not a real world object. So we are not measuring everything for sure.If we don't measure everything we can't explain everything.
Tell me, do we measure everything?
If the question is are we measuring all that can be relevant to the sound quality or transparency of an equipment, I am not qualified to answer that question as an expert, but my personal opinion (like yours I suspect) is no, we don't, depending on the equipment we are talking about. I.e. for cables, yes we do. For headphones, no we don't. How significant is what we don't measure to the sound quality and transparency, I don't know. I am trying to walk the thin line of keeping an open mind and BS some pure subjectivists are spewing out is making it really hard to do that some times
If someone's view is that there are qualities to audio that can never be measured but only be perceived by humans however, then I think this view should be discussed at astrology forums and not on ASR.
