Re: John, you were sucker-punched, then piled on, by the Usual Suspects.

Clark is a physicist, even though he doesn't throw his weight around about it. He knows 'heckling' when he sees it. He has his own pet project 'Absolute Polarity' and he has even written a book about the subject. I have his book, have you read it?
My pet project is 'distortion in wires'. In this case, I am being 'heckled' by Jneutron by a series of 'sophomoric' questions that potentially have little or nothing to do with my test procedure. I first worked with thermocouples back in 1962, when I used them for measurement of the temperature of electric appliances at UL. Thermoelectric effects are low level, require exotic alloys to get any significant output, and are essentially DC in nature. So what does my testing, where DC-400Hz is blocked, and I am looking at evenly spaced harmonics at 5KHZintervals, have any connection with thermoelectric effects that would be DC or very low frequency in nature? You might as well ask if my microwave is effected by my toaster.
It is a given, in any audio testing, that we use clean, similar contacts. I have these in my test set-up. One problem that I did have was trying to use a mumetal shield, that actually contributed some distortion, so I removed it. I hope that this gives you and others a little insight to the situation.
