Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

Bummer...

Well, sorry, but I have to bleed some air out of your sails.

One simply can't configure a system in such a way that it is polarity correct. Apparently the recordings are split about 50-50.

So on any given system about half of the recordings will be out of phase... no matter how you connect the speakers.

So people who are concerned with it, record the Polarity switch position that sounds best for every critical recording.

Further bummer... some discs have parts recorded in different polarity.

According to some horror stories, even the individual splices inside the same movement can be of flipping polarity.
