The argument that the possibility of phase distortion (as Clark would call it) relegates polarity moot is downright ludicrous. It may relegate phase inversion inaudible, but certainly not irrelevant.The use of phase to blur the polarity issue is also disingenuous. Polarity and phase are two distinctly different issues that, while inter-related, have wholly different causes and resolutions.
To say that because the AES has issued a recommended practice document that attempts to establish uniformity in transducer or A/D-D/A polarity then there is a standard to maintain absolute polarity is patently foolish. Inversion of polarity is not a component problem, it is a system problem.
I would also dare venture that comparing acoustical phase changes to electrical phase shifting and saying that they are both aurally perceived as identical is akin to saying oranges and lima beans taste alike. Homey don't play that.
