Re: absolute phase explanation and alternate theory

I know Doug and respect the man, but I've used digital polarity switches for some time, although I'm appalled that many of the newer machines do not have them. For me polarity is almost instantly audible, though for most it is a relatively minor annoyance. I can not see spending more than $1K per component and not having the sound be that much closer to reality by a simple issue of observing positive and negatives.
I can hear phasing issues and it irritates me to no end. Even with my current universal player, none of which have any polarity switches, I still find myself flipping speaker wires. Actually what really irritates me is that of the few SACD discs I have, the SACD layer is phase correct and the CD redbook layer is inverted. Maybe Sony is trying to 'juice' the sound of it's format?
