Both my CDP and phono stage have phase reversal switches. I've marked the discs/cuts, on which the Wood Effect is obvious and play them accordingly.
How do you deal with absolute polarity?
I know there is some controversy about it, but I can clearly hear "The Wood Effect" in my system. IMO, some method for switching polarity is a must to get the best sound out of ALL your recordings.
Swapping the speaker leads was not a viable option for me. My stereo amp (Antique Sound Lab Tulip) came with a switch to invert one channel so it can be bridged for use as a monoblock. I had a friend add a switch for the other channel. By flipping both switches, I can go back and forth between "normal" and inverted polarity easily.
I listen to determine the best position for each recording and mark it.
