Good point!

All the huffing and puffing on this subject has produced nothing but three bickering camps: Those who hear it, those who don’t, and those who don’t care. Whether you hear it or not, absolute phase/polarity (AP) is a real acoustic phenomenon that can be observed/measured. Just look at the groove modulations on an LP and the AP is easy to see. The AP of a CD is even easier to observe; computationally, of course, not visually.

If georgelouis can make a CD duplicator that realigns the overtones of the recorded sound without changing a single bit, he can easily make one that corrects the AP of each track, also without changing a single bit. All he has to do is change the name of his RealityCheck CD duplicator to PolarityCheck. I’m sure ClarkJohnson will hype this product just like he did the last one.

After that, georgelouis can market the exact same CD duplicator under the name PitchCheck. As the name implies, PitchCheck undoes the damage done by pitch correction, also without changing a single bit. Thus, by merely changing the name of the product, the same CD duplicator can cure every real or imagined aberration in the audio world.
