Ummm, methinks you are conflating two different "polarities." One (the one with the cheater plug) has to do with power connections and the fact that, in North America at least, AC power is delivered with one leg "hot," the second leg "neutral" and the third leg "ground." "Neutral" is tied into "ground" at the power box in your house. Sometimes, because of internal wiring of equipment, flipping the neutral and the ground will improve the sonics.The other "polarity," has to do with the audio signal; so, that can be done at the source, or even at the speaker outputs. And some amplifiers or preamplifiers reverse signal polarity. I think the thread was about signal polarity, a somewhat more controversial subject than power polarity.
