Here's another great example

of including unproven assumptions in the *test". Naturally, he required that both amplifiers be connected to a common ABX box. So what's wrong with that? Isn't the impedance of the switches low enough to prevent any issues? Surely such a simple box will have zero effect on the outcome. Right? Not according to Frank Van Alstine. Oops . And for those who say that you can simply switch both sides to eliminate the problem, then there's this . So let's compare the shared signal of both to the shared signal of both. Hear any differences?

While not intended, you find all sorts of ways that researchers dumb down tests (E Brad's Hi Rez test anyone?) and then blindly follow the results of the contrived tests.
