I don't know how to put it correctly, but some people say that a power cord, before being connected to the wall socket, should be "in phase" which affects the sound. I believe it actually does to some extent. Some people (those who believe it affects the sound) determine the "correct phase" by ear, other people use a power indicating screwdriver. Who can advise how to do it?I know I should enjoy the music and not "correct phase", but still...

I believe on this too . but I don't know how to tell you .
I think when you got incorrect phase on one of your power cord in the system . you may hear a pop sound when turn off one of your sourse.
hope this is a help.
In order to put in phase the equipment with the power supply you have to follow the following:
1)You need a voltmeter, put it in AC volts and keep one probe in contact with your fingers and the other probe you have to touch the equipment ground point or any pin RCA ground.
*Important the equipment under test must be completely disconnected from other equipment, it must just be plugged to the power supply outlet.
Then, switch-on the equipment and touch a ground point and at the same time keep the other probe touching your fingers.
You will be able to read a certain voltage.
Then, reverse the power supply cord plug and make the same procedure.
The lower reading position corresponds to the proper(in phase)position of the power supply plug.
Remember if the equipment under test is earthed through the power cord(three pole) then this test will not work.
This procedure is quite easy to see if the plug is simple two pole.
