"Audio equipment that can't distinguish between
correct and backwards capacitor installation is----
shall we say-- anti-transparent-- and is, therefore,
incapable of rendering music fully?"
Build a "Korneff derived" SE 45 or 2A3 circuit and it is doubtful that the orientation of film caps would make a subjective difference.
That's OK for non-competitive audio applications typical of most end users.
Film capacitor orientation might make a difference to the MLP design team or others trying to create "world class" SE tube amplifiers.
