Sorry, I'll clarify. Was actually editing when your post came in Peter..
Not the +- of the cable, but I am relating more to the equipments. If one happens to be using a mix of differently balance configured equipments, better to spec'd and have factory properly reverse/custom the innards of cable instead of using invert switches on them - which in most cases I hear slightly degrading the sound. One can also otherwise flip (the + - of SC) on the speakers side as well to overcome this.
*Of course if configuration of everything matches (ie.source? > pre? > amps (Classe + B&K), then all is well. :)
