Haha. That always happened back when I was working building computers. Every time you dropped a screw it was the computer saying "Haha! You Lose!".
I just picked it up, fliped it upside down, and shook it.
I used to build all my amps using point to point and using steel leaded parts. It's a non-issue.
Considering a lot of designs are using PCB, the leads get cut off so short, they are hardly even there anyway.
I'm sure it would matter if we were talking about GHz RF transceiver, but then again could you even make something that fast with big TH parts? Maybe, but I'm thinking they couldn't make a Snapdragon 888 chip using 6SN7 tubes even if they wanted to.
Also, Double blind testing is fine, but I'll believe a piece of test equipment over ears any day of the week.
Just saying "it sounds better" is subjective. Some people prefer the sound of a single ended amp with 5% 2nd harmonics over a push pull amp with 1% 2nd even though it tests better right?

In that case, spare the test and just junk them all.
It´s very hard you´ll find non magnetic resistors and even worse, non magnetic ones to replace them.
Maaaybbbeeee .... if you pay 10X to 50X for NON audible or measurable results.
Your time and money anyway.
