It's easy, IF your speakers meet certain requirements.

There's a sense of openness and clarity that tells you you're listening in the correct polarity (normal or inverted). And once you hear it, you look into the subject, read what others have said about it, and see if your experience regarding specific record labels matches what others have said and written. As in, for example, DG and Riverside are almost always in inverted polarity, Columbia and Prestige almost always in normal.

(I'm using "normal" here when you frequently see "non-inverted," which I always thought sounded dumb.)

No offense, but I gather you have never heard the difference.

And for the life of me I don't understand why this thread is here in the SET asylum. For what it's worth, the normal/inverted difference always sounded more pronounced to me when listening to reel to reel tape than with CDs and Vinyl. But SET???
