Very basic good-audio procedure.
About ( rough estimate ) one out of four of your recordings, on LP, CD will be OUT of absolute phase in both channels. You have to teach yourself HOW this sounds, and MARK each source material as it being IN or OUT of absolute phase, and ONLY listen to the material with correct absolute phase, to get the MOST out of the recording.WHEN YOU LISTEN TO OUT OF ABSOLUTE RECORDINGS, ( WITHOUT CORRECTING BY SWAPPING both SPEAKER LEADS 180 DEGREES ), it is like looking at the negative of a great photo, rather than the actual photo itself !!
Now you know !! Have fun , enjoy yourself.
