Reversed Polarity LP Cuts - Examples?

Not sure about that. I do know that about half of LPs pressed at the time, maybe still, are reversed phase. Most of the time, it doesn't matter to the sound, but on certain LPs, you will notice weaker bass. Reversing polarity, either at the cart or the spk terminals, should solve the problem. I haven't experimented with this, but my phono reverses polarity anyhow and I haven't had any problems.

If you do try, let us know.

The 5LP Elvid Presley Box set of his Las vegas live concerts is an obvious LP I know of.
It sounds like when he is singing like he is breathing in when he should be breathing out. very undynamic and unmusical.

Find it hard to believe that they missed this when they mastered the LP.

Cmk - If your contention that 1/2 of LP's are pressed with 'reversed phase' were true, and if reversing your system's polarity 'fixed' something like 'weaker bass' supposedly caused by this, then your phono with the inverted polarity woud cause the other 1/2 of LP's - the ones pressed 'in phase' - to display the same alleged symptoms. If you're not prepared to experiment finding the 'best' polarity for each recording, then by your reckoning at least half will be played back 'wrong', whether you arrange your system to be always polarity-correct or always polarity-inverting. Yet, you say you "haven't had any problems." Think about the implications...

Yanx the phase phenomenon is not just exclusive to phono - compacted disc exhibits the same issues. I've found that the phase invert button on my full function preamp sometimes improves certain cuts on an (LP or CD) by enhancing one or more of the following:
Dynamics. Bass extension & control. HF articulation. HF harshness. Vocal naturalness. Weak-ish 'washed out' sounding cuts.
That phase buton works almost like a tone control sometimes.
Note that not *all* cuts on the same LP or CD will benefit from phase inversion; some do while others don't. As Zaiks says, it's a simple matter of experimentation. Those cuts that do not benefit from inverted phase will typically, but not always, run much better when non-inveted. The 'correct' phase is typically easily determined by a brief listening sample & a few button-presses to compare subjectively.

Zaikesman, I dunno about you, but not everyone can hear the difference when the phase of a recording is reversed, at least I couldn't. There was a test CD on Chesky, can't remember which one, that had David Chesky doing some recording in and out of phase. Frankly, I hardly heard a difference. Of course YMMV.
