There is no "correct" on tape, LP or CD -- because there is no standard of
reproduction that will yield the proper result at the listener's ear. We
are stuck with two polarities just as we are stuck with two political
parties; one must pick and choose.

But yes, by all means, acquaint yourself with the Wood Effect, which is
pretty audible over any low-phase-shift loudspeaker -- and therein lies the
hitch.
