Two areas of problem:
Test discs -- What assurances do you have that any one of them is correct, or consistent with others? (And, What is correct?!) In a test conducted last year among a group of six discs with polarity test impulses, guess what? Yep.
CDs (Part 1) -- Contrary to some highly vocal opinion, they do not by-and-large come in any one polarity. Nor, again contrary to much opinion, does any sizeable recording company's output manifest any regularity; small labels sometimes manage it due to consistency of equipment and process.
CDs (Part 2) -- Many, probably most, CDs come with a willy-nilly mix of polarity cut-to-cut. This can be, and has been, proven. Trouble is, people have fallen for the false notion that consistency is necessarily maintained, so they fail to notice.
P.A.
