RE: IF you have...

"a polarity switch in your system, certain properly recorded discs (black or silver) will sound better one way or the other. remotely controlled, it is sometimes striking."

Totally agree.... But there are fewer and fewer recordings being put out that would yield such result. (I think roughly half the recordings put out in recent time have "mixed" absolute polarity. One performer is recorded inverted relative to another.)

The only time I get hung up on polarity nowadays is with acoustic recordings. Jazz or classical. With pop and rock recordings, I only worry about the vocalists or drums.
