select-hifi I use the Isotek Ultimate system set up Disc. This will within 5 minutes demonstrate the sound of your system inphase and out of phase. When i put this Disc on to fine tune my system inphase gives a solid focused vocal image central in between speakers tightly in focus, out of phase the vocal comes from between your speakers but with no fixed position. Apparently the better the out of phase sounds (vocal with no fixed position) the better your system will sound when playing CD’s. >>>>>The out-of-phase track will sound correct as long as the system is in phase (correct polarity). Also, the real function and advantage of the out-of-phase track is to allow accurate positioning of speakers, such that when the sound is MOST diffuse (least focused) with the out-of-phase track - the sound is coming at you from no particular direction, even from way off to left and right 🔛 and behind you if you’re lucky - the sound will be the MOST focused 👀when the system is playing a CD that is in correct phase/polarity. It should be pointed out that it takes a lot of work to get the out-of-phase track to sound totally diffuse, a LOT of leg work 🏃🏻♂️ in the room treatment department and moving around of speakers.

The 92% number comes from the guy that has the most experience - The Polarity Pundit, George Louis. I do not agree or disagree with the Polarity Pundit but find the topic quite interesting. A random distribution of polarity actually doesn’t make much sense because not all recording and mastering engineers are ignorant of or don’t care about polarity. IIRC The number 92% comes from something to do with the digital manufacturing process, since vinyl is mostly in correct polarity, at least according to the Polarity Pundit. Clark Johnsen, author of The Wood Effect, disagrees generally with the PP but I don’t recall if Clark offers a percentage of CDs in reverse polarity. When people say the correct number is 50% they’re just guessing. Making CDs is not a random process. Certainly some audio recording engineers and mastering engineers must care about polarity. So, on that basis you’d expect the percentage of CDs in correct polarity to be higher than random (50%). As Judge Judy sez, if it doesn’t make sense it’s not true. If something is not bunk it can’t be debunked. - Old audiophile axiom 🤡 |
