In Reply to: RE: Deutsche Gramophone LP records sound quality posted by banpuku on February 18, 2017 at 19:07:42
Like many here, I thought my DG records and tapes (especially the open reel tapes) sounded very ... ordinary. Or worse. Then I got speakers that were polarity-coherent (all drivers wired the same way, minimal or no crossover) and an Aesthetix Calypso linestage with polarity (phase) switching on the remote. Big difference.
All of my DGs were recorded in inverted polarity. More than just about any other label I have, they responded to the polarity switch by opening up the sound and giving it a general "rightness." I agree that changing polarity by switching speaker cables is a royal PIA but almost worth it in the case of DGs. IF (big if) your speakers reveal polarity changes in the first place. Most won't, including my current speakers.
