Blackburn is right, phase inversion in the analog domain raises more problem, with often unpredicatble results.

Also, most of the time the "awkardness" one hears from track to track is due to unstable optical disc transports. All you need to do is open/close disc tray and play the track again. Use direct access to cue up the track instead of skipping forward. All the sound quality variations that can come from unstable optical disc transports are recorded here, and verified by Ole in the link below. The Wadias are actually very susceptible to this problem than many other types of transports.

I have been able to upgrade to a more transparent pre-amp without a phase switch built-in and enjoying music all the more for it. (Absolute phase is still audible of course in this current system, with specially created materials dedicated for this type of test).
