RE: The single-ended nature of air !!!

I have a remote that inverts the polarity of the output of my phono stage (for digital recordings I do it digitally in the computer). All the remote does is invert the polarity of the output signal (transformer output, easy to do). Let's see: I invert absolute polarity and hear a difference but that difference is the result of something other than absolute polarity? That's not very scientific.I change one variable and the result is NOT the result of that change? Here' a challenge: Capture a screen shot of a music signal on an oscilloscope, make a copy and invert it and see if you can superimpose it on the original. I'm betting you can't because music waveforms are not symmetric in that way. If the two signals are different is it a giant leap to suppose they may sound different?
