Best way to A / B test amps? Use a switch?

I have two systems I want to do some a / b testing.  Instead of believe what you tell me I should hear, I want to see for myself.

I believe that the mind forgets what it heard 5 mins ago and internal biases kick in strong.  Therefore, I'd like to be able to immediately switch between two amps or two preamps immediately.

Any thoughts on how to do this without damaging one of the systems?

Both approaches inform and have value.

@kijanki I’m in wholehearted agreement with you. I am also in wholehearted agreement with the "other" position and points made above.

I realize this (being in both 'camps' simultaneously) tends not to happen often in these environs.

I use both approaches. Each ’way’ can and does (though not always; and not always with certainty) offer unique and disparate information. This addresses non-overlapping areas of personal (human) interface and connection. Objectives for each ’approach’ focus on different natures / aspects.

Key (for me) is the overlay and the interlacing of the information gathered and how I use it to make a final decision and choice.
