... I'm pretty confident that the ECMs are recorded -- consistently -- in normal polarity. I haven't experimented much with the others, and wonder if you could elaborate on what you mean by "Universal." I would hazard a guess that the Eratos are in inverted polarity, if only because so many European labels are (the Decca group and EMI in particular). But it's only a guess. I'll listen and check back.Those here who believe there is no consistency (i.e., whether a label's records are usually recorded in normal or inverted polarity) are more wrong than right, IMHO. And polarity is easy enough to hear and determine which polarity is "right," but only if you have really polarity-coherent speakers and a reasonably high-def system. If you do, and once you start listening for it, it's easy enough to hear. If you don't, count your blessings.
