Yes, I understand. But........

in practical reality recordings are - to say the least - not all in the same polarity. Though I've reversed polarity at my spkrs. (my preamp inverts polarity) I don't think there's much point in doing so. For approx. 50% of recordings by doing what I did my system will not match the polarity of the recording. 'Course that'd be true if I hadn't reversed polarity at my spkrs.

I've certainly wished I had a polarity switch on occasion so I could check the difference on some recordings that I wonder about. But I guess its just not that important to me because having a polarity switch is far from top priority when I ponder upgrading my preamp, and I'm sure as hell not gonna switch around my spkr. wire from one recording to the next. I simply accept that some recordings sound better/worse than others via my playback system, and that I don't know how much of that is due to polarity.
