Understood, Jea48. I understand the difference in the use of the term 'polarity' for AC circuits versus DC circuits. This difference, unfortunately, is not understood by many, however. The incorrect use of the term 'polarity' to describe ensuring that the grounds/neutral are all connected and that the 'hot' side doesn't appear at the nominal chassis ground, always leads to confusion.
The reason that I wish to remind people that AC has no polarity is to rid them of the fallacy that there is only one direction for the current. This is not true, therefore all 'mumbo-jumbo' about assymetrical AC circuits and where the hot and ground leads (which are incorrectly referred to as positive and negative) are located making a difference in sound, such as the contention with the transformer leads, is just that, 'mumbo-jumbo'. Any difference to the sound due to reversing the plug is due to a change in the noise or hum which might appear at the audio line chassis connection, not transformer configuration of hot and ground connections being asymetrical, etc.
Respectfully, Bob P.
