Are you sure? According to your logic even product sheets are of more use than Head-Fi reviews. And that's called a scientific approach? I guess so.
Obviously I forgot number three: «A/B unblinded non-level-matched comparisons». But with unsatisfying results they seem to be automatically relegated to number five.

The absolute lowest/weakest form of evidence would consist of listeners who are unblinded, spent lots of money, compared two amps perhaps on the same sitting (perhaps not), are influenced by peer pressure, and post on an anonymous internet forum. |
