Speaker *Polarity* (sorry autocorrect)
>:(
This is sort of a poll question for anyone to chime in. In general, I believe people on this forum have a good ear for finer details.
Can you tell the difference if the polarity of *both* speakers are reversed?
I remember a thread from way back where someone shared an experience of a vendor at an audio convention that deliberately reversed the speaker input connection?
...Yes, no, depends(please clarify).
If yes, how would you describe the difference.
Thanks in advance:-)

Surprised no one’s mentioned, "The Wood Effect", which is the term used to define what you’ve described. This article offers some details (about half way down the page): https://www.stereophile.com/content/absolute-issues-page-2 More, here (but, read the responses, as well): https://www.stereophile.com/content/absolute-phase-fact-or-fallacy This Chesky demo CD, contains test tracks that should help you determine if it’s audible, to you, on your system: https://www.amazon.com/Chesky-Records-Sampler-Audiophile-Compact/dp/B000003GF3 Track 8 of this CD, starts out in correct phase and is then reversed, at an unspecified point, to test your hearing’s susceptibility to the, "Effect": https://www.amazon.com/Stereophile-Test-CD-1/dp/B0000049XN |
