I just don’t think it matters. Prior to CD nobody had any clue about absolute polarity. There remains scant evidence it matters either. There have been proper studies that suggest it doesn’t matter. The assumption that the recording chain did anything at all to maintain absolute polarity is not well supported.I have no idea why you appear to be railing against maintaning absolute polarity in a reproduction system.
But it starts to take on a life of its own. Unless you check every recording for its recorded phase before playing it, and swap phase to match, you don’t believe in it either.
I’m particularly grumpy today. So that has a bit to do with it.
