Well, it'll work in the sense that you'll be able to compare the two, but why not take it a step further? Give the remote to a friend, so that you don't know which I/C is being used. Then try to guess which I/C it is. (Do this after you've listened to both enough that you think you know the "sound" of each.) Be warned: it is very, very hard unless you've got a really terrible I/C or some rather unconventional components.
A/B test of interconnects - Will this work???
I have some spare time on my hands over the next couple of weeks and thought I'd sit down and try to figure out whether I can "really" hear differences between interconnects that I have accumulated. My thought was to put a Y-adapter on my cd player output and run one set of interconnects to the cd input on my integrated amp and another set of interconnects to another input. Then I can sit in one place and use the remote to flip between the two inputs while playing a cd.
I don't think this should blow anything up (let me know if you know otherwise) but will it work for what I intend? Or will the mere existence of another interconnect hanging off the Y taint whatever results I get?
Thanks for any thoughts.
