Stltrains, You are mistaken. There is a right way and a wrong way to plug in vintage equipment. Without any other equipment connected to the subject component plug it into the wall outlet and take a voltage reading from the chassis to ground. Then turn the plug over and take another reading. Whichever reading shows the lowest voltage is the correct polarity. When vintage equipment is plugged in the correct way they sound modern. When plugged in the wrong way they don't.
Has anyone ever been shocked by an old refrigerator when you were a kid? If you did it was because it was plugged in the wrong way and there was too much voltage riding on the chassis. Turn the plug over and no shock.
It's not a matter of personal preference. There is a right way and wrong way.
