RE: Stereophile reviewer thrown under the bus

For example, with the AudioQuest JitterBug that I reviewed in the September
issue, I spent a day trying and failing to find significant measurable
differences made by the thing _after_ I had completed my auditioning and
had been convinced it made a significant improvement to sound quality.

If I had done the measurements first, it would have been all too easy for me
to dismiss the JitterBug as having no audible effect.
