Can the level of pleasure derived from music be measured?


This is a real question that I think may have a answer.

With the right probes in a brain can't changes in the pleasure

zone be measured? 

I ask because it seems to me that without this measurement

a true audiophile hierarchy can not be claimed.

Thoughts??

A very silly question but I will respond from my usual from my usual standpoint.

Probes could be entered in the brain that measure the concentration of dopamine being secreted.  The more dopamine, the more pleasure.  I'm sure scientists will have done this previously, possibly on animals.
