What Does 'A/B Testing' Mean?

[ SLANG ][ AUDIOPHILE ][ ATTENTION ECONOMY ]

FORCE: Attention EconomyUNIVERSE: Audiophile InternetCLUSTER: Audiophile Vocabulary

Switching rapidly back and forth between two pieces of audio gear on the same track to compare their differences directly, treated as the only rigorous way to judge a real upgrade.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"Did an A/B test and honestly couldn't hear a difference worth the price gap."

LORE & ORIGIN

Borrowed from formal testing methodology and applied to home listening, valued because it removes the memory gap that makes long-form comparisons unreliable.
