Note Frost's reply, which says his anti-jitter thingie has provision for absolute polarity change, which would mean a reversal in both channels. As to whether a change in ablsolute polarity is audible, I would have thought not. But there has been a running discussion of it in the SACD forum, with some claiming that Sony gets the polarity wrong on half of their disks, and that they sound much better when cables are reversed on both speakers. The only rationale I have heard is that if, say, a gong is struck, the very first thing may be, say, a compression. Then, if this is reversed by the time it gets to the speakers, the first thing your ear gets is a rarefaction rather than a compression. If this has any effect at all, I surmise it would be be a difference in transient attack. I still have a problem believing this isn't some sort of self hypnosis. It has been discussed to death over there, which is why I came over here to seek new opinion.
