The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines.

@jonasandezekiel 

Would you care to elaborate on what it is you have seen?

I think the wine tasting analogy is a pretty good one. That said, how about the Absolute Sound Magazine approach which is essentially the opposite?
 

Steven Stone’s & a few others reviews of lesser expensive stuff are often very useful & compare the item being reviewed to other similar products which can offer a practical & helpful information to better understand the pro’s & cons of the equipment & how they might compare to what you own or are considering. 
 

Most of the remainder of their reviews of many really amazing products are simply glorified, extended advertisements & offer very little objective evaluation. Take for example their recent review of the Thiele Zero Tracking Error Turntable. It’s probably a very fine sounding turntable but it’s never compared directly or even from memory to anything else in its price range. Additionally & maybe more importantly, it’s never discussed or even mentioned what would be the potential benefits of zero tracking error & or they were heard in listening to it. That would have been useful & informative. 

At least Stereophile for the most part objectively tests stuff. It could be very useful to know if an amp, for example & generally a tubed one, puts out its rated power w/ less than a few % distortion if you’re considering buying it & sufficient power for your speakers is a question. Of course, the true test is listening to something in your system but that’s not always possible or practical. 
 

Objective & subjective reviews & information are both useful & have their place. 

Oenology does exactly that. With the difference that oenologists mainly work in the audio… sorry wine industry. The person representing the audio reviewer, would be called a sommelier. The ASR bunch are certainly not in that business. 

Common sense science and real experience indicated that the ASR set of measures cannot describe the sound experience of speakers nor the subjectivist evaluation in a living room...

 Common sense and acoustics science with experiments said so...

Objectivist are ideologue  as prof just confirmed above and subjectivist are deluded in their own way...

Acoustics  set of conditions and parameters  rules...
