"Acoustic Polarity" is the issue here. Some people who listen to this recording in "correct" polarity say that they notice huge improvements in naturalness of sound, soundstaging, etc... Others feel that the effects, if audible, are insignificant. Your ears and/or your entire system (especially your loudspeakers) might determine whether or not polarity changes are audible or significant to you. "Polarity" is mistakenly referred to as "phase" by many of us...
