RE: A power transformer DOES require polarity

AC is a 180 wave. Polarity is simply the point in the wave that is hitting the tranny. It's like a lightbulb.

So what you're saying is that if some inept electricians helper wired my socket wrong, which happens far more frequently that one would imagine, that your stereo is going to hum or not work?

Just because you can rewire a socket doesn't mean most other people can. So that would present a significant percentage of non working stereos.
