as far as I am informed it has something to do with several devices connected to each other via. e.g. RCA cable connection. you might get different potentials, if one device is connected out of phase and the other isn't.
surely AC is AC and the whole sentence I wrote doesn't really make sense. but a lot of high-end manufacturers mark the "hot" phase on their audio devices. and there are quite a lot of phase-detectors out on the market. this is also used in the video domain. electrode voltage / potential difference / difference of potential are the correct words in english :) I am sorry, my english is to bad for the correct technical explantation. you might have devices where it is uncritical. but there are surely devices where you can hear a difference between the plug installment (180° turn). different resistance in cables/ connections generate different potentials in the devices and normally they balance through the earth. but if they don't they can "crawl" over your RCA connections and change your sound... just try it out - its for free! -- truckfighters | Transporter | REDGUM RGASil OCC Silver Interconnects | REDGUM RGi120ENR AMP | REDGUM LS Cable | B&W Nautilus 802 D | >>> Live musicians at the end of my room! <<< ------------------------------------------------------------------------ truckfighters's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7852 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36626
