Measurements are objective and have the same meaning to everyone. Musicality and involvement are subjective and have different meanings to different people. All you have to do is find a component that sounds musical and involving to you and measure it. Then, any other component with the same exact measurements of distortion, frequency response, and phase response will sound musical and involving to you.
After all, electronic components simply reproduce an electrical waveform from a record or CD. These waveforms are easily measured. Therefore, when you find two different components that produce the same exact electrical waveforms from a record or CD, they will sound exactly the same.
The human ear is far less sensitive than electronic measurement equipment. Therefore, we can measure all sorts of distortion and other things that no human can hear. Everyone knows this. If you think you can hear frequencies that cannot be measured you're delusional. Oscilloscopes can easily measure frequencies in the megahertz region where no human ear can detect them. Spectrum analyzers can measure harmonic distortion that no human ear can hear.
I don't know why you think that musicality and involvement cannot be measured. If you can identify it, it can be measured.
Good luck,
