B&O wire colors

I've recently unboxed my Beogram RX so that I could listen to my crates full of old vinyl that have been collecting dust over the past years. As I was getting the turntable setup, I found myself puzzled by the output wires. Rather than the red and white color coding I frequently see, these are colored black and gray. Does anyone know which color is the right channel and which is the left?

Thanks,
Bob Chmara

you have a 50/50 probability of getting it right. but you only have two
chances before the b&o implodes.

Why does it matter?

If you love precise sound and image, it matters. Try to listen to any number of recorcings with a drummer, if his drum roll goes from left to right thats a huge problem (unless he is left handed wich few are)

Get real.
You have no idea if the right and left channels are truly left and right through the entire recording, mixing, and cd/vinyl manufacturing process for every piece of software.

For a minute there I thought you might be serious.
