... is the polarity that sounds best to the individual. Who are you (or Clark, or anyone else in your distinguished company...) to say what is most "realistic" sounding to another's ears? Hifi is artifice. All YOU really *know* is what sounds most realistic to YOU (and a small minority of others like you).So, Joe Grado - out of the kindness of his heart - put a polarity switch on his headphones. Is it possible that Joe might have done this so that everyone could decide for themselves which way sounded "correct"? Did John Grado eliminate the polarity switch only because he felt that "Simpler is Better"? Or, did John also suspect that searching for the "correct" polarity in many recordings was tantamount to heading the proverbial wild goose chase?
You cannot speak for everyone, you cannot assume that those who differ with you are somehow lost. The thought of anyone refusing to genuflect before your Holy Grail as they pass by seems to disturb the heck out of you but please, try to get over it. People have different opinions about what sounds most realistic. So what?
YOU are in the minority, remember? So, I'd say that a lot of people hear things a little bit differently than you do...
