Im not sure why it'd be an issue? The test is intended to see if the difference between two amps is audible. If there is no difference then I won't be able to reliably tell. I'm sure that doing it with a switch vs fixed source will provide different levels of reliability. But the intent is to see if there is an audible difference. So it'd make sense to provide any potential advantage that doesn't compromise things.Translating, do you mean that the proctor would move the inputs to the switcher on every iteration? That seems onerous and error prone.
I was thinking that you don't have control of the switch. The proctor generates the random number 0 (Magnius) and 1(other). Whichever this is, is the one you hear and you get to say if it is Magnius or the other.
The xlr connectors will be clearly labelled for the camera so that if there were any mistakes it'd be immediately obvious and going into the adi-2 Pro as well so there shouldn't be any issue.
In regards to the ahb2, perhaps John Siau (not sure what his tag in here is) could confirm that the ahb2 is indeed load invariant?
He confirmed as much to me in an email a while back but I'm guessing people would want to hear it from him directly.
If not, I'd probably be OK to use the atom but honestly haven't spent much time with it so would need to check if I can actually hear a difference between it and magnius first. There are definitely some amps I can't hear the difference between so I'm not making any claims of audibility between those two given as I've not tried yet.
