Jazz for someone who doesn't like jazz.

What's your process for comparing new gear, cables, etc.?
I find that listening over the long term is a much better way for me to evaluate the differences that components make.  That's not to say that doing A/B testing doesn't point out differences, it does.  But what it points out is that there is a dif...
