Please understand that Stan Ricker is talking about a positive air wave is one that is coming at the listener, thus producing a "push" effect on the ear drum. This would be considered a (+) polarity.
Conversely, if the airwave is "pulling" away from the listener, then this is a (-) polarity.
Stan's position is based upon his oscilloscope readings, which I too have tried and agree with. The hard part about using an oscilloscope is that you have to isolate a single instrument that is centered in the image in order to easily discern a positive or negative polarity. This is easy to due with a trumpet, drum kick, trombone, etc. But less easy to do with a mass of strings. It takes time and effort to catalog this kind of stuff, but in many cases I find that it pays off with better perceived sound. Just my 2 cents.
