DGG and polarity




I am a believer in perceived sonic impact of + vs. - polarity / phase of recordings. Over the years I have heard positive impact of changing polarity of my system to match the polarity of an LP. See Stan Rickers comments on this if you don't believe this occurs.

Anyways, I have also always found DGG LPs to be thin and light weight in the tonal spectrum. Yesterday I played Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra (Kubilek) and I switch the polarity. This was the first time that any DGG LP sounded correct. It was full, warm and natural in tone.

I recommend you experiment with polarity and see if you have similar success. Not all LPs are easy to identify, but many are.
