Whats on your turntable tonight?

James et al:

power line polarity is not same as absolute signal polarity.

it can be honked up by pier company out thru your panel, etc. my Herron phono preamp also has a AC polarity switch and sounds different in each position - listen and pick the best.Music signal polarity switch is important because some components invert polarity, so driver is going in when should be going out. Only us Vandersteen owners really care.. ha

Hey Jim.  The follow up album by Trigger Hippy.  
The first Trigger Hippy (Eponymous) rocks in the way that Blackberry Smoke rocks.  In other words you will love it.  

Thanks.  I see now how it could matter for the in and out of a speaker cone. Seems like That would effect sound.  
I have no polarity switches.  

So with no switches, check to see IF each component inverts , then it’s just math...if you need to get back to absolute by inverting speaker cables. Obviously that fix can be a puta if you have sources that do or don’t invert.
my MX-110Z has an inverted switch and a bunch of other handy features... purist preamps ... oh well, not so much

@bkeske, That Symphony is incredible isn’t it. Have you ever heard this version?

Yes it is. I have one other version of the 5th by The Royal Concertgebouw recorded live. But I must say, this is a pretty good version as much as I like the Concertgebouw. 

This symphony has very nice range, dramatic, and its movements all nicely ‘seamed’ together.

I don’t have Amazon Music so cannot check that out, but perhaps via Tidal.

Shostakovich was a very interesting composer. I have a full set of his String Quartets which are really good, but very different from the symphony compositions I have heard.
