Related (somewhat) to a post below, I've always wanted to compile a list of LP's that were recorded with "reversed" polarity. Or, at least of LP's that sound better on one or the other polarity setting on your rig. My phono stage has the +/- selection and some LP's sound better on + than they do on -, with a few exceptions. Even more curiously, to me anyway, is that most sound about the same, regardless.Anyway, does anyone have LP's that they KNOW benefit from "flipping the switch". I think I have a small list at home which I can add later but the Eagles "On the Border" comes to mind as one candidate. Others? Any genre.
