Correct Way to Invert Phase
Some recordings sound better one way. Some sound better the other. If you notice a big enough difference then you could try switching for every recording and write down which way sounds best, then switch every recording. Or plan your listening by grouping tracks that sound best in phase and playing them back to back. But I found this to be too hard. So what I do now, split the difference. Wire one speaker each way.

According to this thread 92% of all CDs play with inverted polarity (I heard similar stats before). https://www.head-fi.org/threads/all-tracks-on-approximately-92-of-compact-discs-cds-play-in-inverted-polarity-on-approximately-92-of-compact-disc-players.793663/ The take home message...........By he time all of the tracks on an album are mixed no one knows what the correct phase was. And lots of times the mixers will intentionally invert the phases because they think it sounds better. |
