Using wine is a false premise. Wine is not a conduit for another experience, it is an end unto itself unless you want to argue that a bunch of aromatic alkyls are like music. Stating that it is only the end result that matters is actually not true for a great many audiophiles for whom the journey is the goal. HP was influential, but I'm not certain actually good for audio, and his sort of bombast has done nothing but alienate a whole generation of potential enthusiasts with over-the-top writing about minute differences spelt out with florid prose nobody actually enjoys reading except the author.
While the Hirsch snark is old and tired, it really isn't relevant anymore since only the old and fat even remember. For my taste I sincerely appreciate what JA has brought to the table, inspired by the writers from HFN&RR and perhaps Audio, a hifi magazine borne of engineers and thoughfully offering measurements as well as use reports . I very much appreciated Bascom King's reviews and the occasional nerdy humor. I no longer have much respect for the purely subjective reviewers, finding them twee, self-congratulatory and frequently prickish.
