You asked a question and I'll do my best to answer it. It's called "absolute phase". It's really not that difficult. Imagine your loudspeaker connection. The speaker will produce sound when connected either way, but the correct way is clearly better. The easiest way to measure is with a volt meter. With the amp powered up, measure from the metal chassis to earth ground. Reverse the outlet plug and remeasure. The orientation that give the least amount of voltage readings should give the best sound.
I have an ST-35 as well BTW. You also may get why I checked out on answering questions years ago on the asylum. It isn't called the asylum for nothing. It'll drive you crazy if you aren't already. Lol
