...his thinking here is off-kilter and can easily be disproven.Take a record like RR's Berlioz set, in which the loud, dramatic March to the Scaffold is duplicated on two sides, the better to insure it won't get worn out from overplay, the makers say. In fact, the two are cut in opposite polarities.
With the system wired one way, you can determine which cut is the correct one. Then with the system's speaker wires reversed, you play the other cut. There should be, and there will be, no big difference in sound -- nothing like the obvious sonic problem of playing in the wrong polarity.
Granted a few secondary or tertiary effects from wire direction etc. may manifest, but they will be swamped by the principal consideration.
