While doing so would be personally interesting, I don't see it as part of
the review process. From the article of mine linked below:
"There was one experience that foreshadowed my career as an audio
reviewer. For one of my bachelor's degree final exams, I was handed a
black box with two terminals and had to spend an afternoon determining
what it was. (If I recall correctly, it was a Zener diode in series with a
resistor.) That experience is echoed every day in my endeavors to
characterize the performance of the audio components reviewed in
Stereophile - every product, be it speaker, amplifier, CD player, is
fundamentally a black box with input and output terminals. All I have
to do is ask the question 'What does it do?'"
