Given that most recordings don't preserve any kind of absolute polarity across their multiple component tracks anyway and of those that do, there is a good chance that the entire recording my be inverted or not - and even then only a minority of people are sensitive to absolute polarity (on single instruments with asymetric waveforms), why not just leave the whole rig inverted? - you'd need to change polarity occasionally anyway on some albums (or tracks!). -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
