I wonder ...

I remember a review many years ago in the magazine (when I was still a subscriber/reader) of a fellow who had made an easy to use, remote controlled polarity switch. Long time ago. CJ had just started telling his WOOD EFFECT story and a few folks had heard the good news.

My memory is that HP did not review it but one would have a hard time believing it was not passed around.

I doubted the efficacy of this thing with all of the added wire and connectors - I worried it could mask many of the cues. Could be he auditioned this thing and said, "what's the point?" I think the switch does need to be thoughtfully installed - minimal wire and soldered in.

The trick is WHERE was his playback system? Was it non-inverting start to finish? Only takes one inverting component to reverse the polarity. Of course, with a switch none of that makes a difference - you select the best position without regard to the set polarity of the recording or of your system. Could have been his system was inverting and the inverted records would sound the best!
