And that is that semantics don't count. "If you are making the distinction that absolute polarity and signal polarity are two diffetrent things, then that is just semantics." Not at all! Great confusion has arisen from this misunderstanding and only semantics ("The study or science of meaning in language") can help us.I have never understood the pejorative use of this fine word, but let it pass, let it pass.
You must know: If a polarity can come in various ways on a medium, then it cannot *by definition* be "absolute" at that location. Polarity can, however be "absolute" at the ear -- absolutely right, or absolutely wrong.
On a disc there is no right or wrong.
"There ARE standards for maintaining the polarity of the audio signal on recording devices and for electronics, etc., even an AES standard at that." Not true. (Oops! You labor under *two* delusions...) I've banished that notion in the message referenced below.
Hope this helps.
