I don't try to be an engineer so it's mostly about trying to figure out why A sounds better than B. So process of elimination. I think Peter tries to explain things to the layman. Which then infuriates engineers.
Fortunately, Peter knows that and hires qualified engineers to design the stuff that he likes. He probably should have one of the engineers come on a forum and explain the stuff - but then he's paying them to design not to be on forums. When you see the measurements you really have to work hard to see why people like it better than a bombproof DAC or amp etc. When you are in the technically losing position - the few things you have to grasp onto seem religious.

A.k.a. self-delusion? Not necessarily.
Apparently what AN does rather well based on the testimonials of people like yourself, RGA, is to find an excellent combination of pleasant distortions.
Understanding that certain distortion sound good, ( i.e. in various parlances, "natural", "organic", "liquid", "fluid", "warm", "full-bodied", etc., etc.), is key to the explaining why people like the AN sound as well as that of other various other makers.
Unfortunately most "objectivist" are not accepting the fact that many/most people like a certain amount of distortion. The failure to accept hinders the research than might explain just what types and amounts of distortion are most agreeable.
