Another thing that's even easier than installing a cheater, is to
simply check the polarity of all of your plugs that can be reversed. A
lot of people don't think to do that (especially ignorant old dinosaurs
like Arny Krueger, who don't even believe polarity has any audible
effect). I use music to test for correct polarity. Certain music is
better for checking proper polarity than just anything. Often, I'll
take out my Sheffield Track Record LP (or CD) to test for polarity (or
my Chesky Test CD, which has a trumpet track for polarity testing), by
hearing how the drum is struck. It will sound right (properly struck)
when the plug is correctly inserted, and wrong (inverted) when it
isn't.

Been there done that, no effect.

A freind of mine who was a TAS/Stereophile dogmatist, thought he'd
investigate this "tweak" and yes he did use music. I happened to be at
his place when he was in the process of trying this out, so I had the
opportunity to let him hear the difference between the "proper "
polorization and the not give a crap version. So without heim knowing
which was which I wouold switch between them and he would listen. No
effect that he could determine.


AS to abslute polarity, it is more evident on some recordings than others.
Consider that all sorts of lesser polarity inversions can occur in the
recordng process.
Certain tracks on a cut may be out of absolute polarity with other tracks,
and then mixed.
So, the absolute polarity of the recording may become shmeared and
indistinct.
One track might be out of absolute polarity with the remaining tracks.
I hav some cd's that are absolutely inverted in their absolute polarity!
