However, some audiophiles do claim that inverted "absolute polarity" is audible, and some high-end components have a polarity reversal switch for that reason. (On the other hand, even if you could detect a difference under better circumstances, it would scarcely be audible in a Vanagon while driving down the road.) - Ron Salmon The Bus Depot, Inc.
