She has the audiophile subculture down to a T.

Kelly Heward's research showed that "masculinity, elitism, and knowledge about sound" have long been characteristic of audiophile subculture.

I was fascinated to see how petty Harry Pearson could be in analog vs. digital controversies in the early 1980s and how snarky he could be with letter writers. J. Gordon Holt in the same period could be petty, too, but generally was more equable. I'm glad I never knew either one of them.

I don't know what audio point of view you see in there.
