For those of us who are "believers" that A/B testing is not the way to go, the normal practice is to listen to a piece of equipment or format or whatever you are evaluating for an extended time, and then switching later.

For my purposes, I find that emotional involvement has been the best question I ask myself when doing evaluative listening.

Your mileage may vary.
