Re: Miscelaneous Polarity Issues

Again, George, you fail to understand that there is no standard. What is on the disc depends on all of the gain stages, wiring, fiddling of the engineers,the setup of the disc production plant etc. Since the recording industry has no standard as to what is correct polarity, discs will be in either type.What your system reproduces depends on whether and how many of the pieces of equipment invert polarity.
Thus, it doesn't matter whether your player or system or speakers inverts polarity or not, as about 50% of your recordings will be out on your system and in on somebody else's. The industry and 95%-99% of the listeners don't. Only the true high end fanatic with good ears does. Otherwise every piece of gain or source equipment would have a polarity switch and every recording would have a track with pulses on them so that either the listener or some automatic switch somewhere in the system would determine what's appropriate and send the correct information to the speakers.
Unhappily, that will never occur as the majority of individuals either can't hear it or don't care. So thanks for carrying the polarity banner as any individual on this board who realizes that it is a free improvement to his system will appreciate it, at least until he realizes he may have to change the polarity with every recording or track to get optimal sound.
