In Reply to: "....all of Pearson's recommended recordings were of the same polarity." posted by Rick W on December 18, 2014 at 10:51:29:
As others have stated, almost all of my DDG are inverted as is most of my Philips. Most of my Deccas are likewise inverted.
RCA's are generally correct if a 1s pressing, other pressings will vary considerably. Merc's are OK. Epic and most Columbia re also inverted, although not so with the Jazz and Pop stuff which can vary considerably.
Pop stuff will vary considerably and also because out of polarity stuff is deliberately mixed into the the final mix. Take Phil Spector's Wall of Sound: He keeps voices in correct polarity and inverts the background to give that big vague soundstage behind a focused voice.....
YMMV of course and the issue is compounded by so many speaker systems employing drivers in mixed polarities.
In a couple articles written by HP before his death, he refers to polarity issues on "treasured" recordings. Only trouble is that he did not elaborate any further....
