I can certainly hear a difference in which way round the plug is inserted, and my ears are screwed from a lifetime's abuse.
For me there's greater focus and solidity to the sound when the lead is plugged in the right way. T'other way round and things get soft and cuddly. I don't do soft and cuddly |

As above, I agree about this effect with the Elevator EXP and Revelation powered by the PSU1. I think there is a slight difference when doing this with Majestic's PSU1, but it is only slight and probably just my imagination!

Yes, but what is considered the "right" way round and is it consistent in all systems?

Remembering previous discussion here on this topic, first raised IIRC by Han (Cyreg), I think that Grahams comment was, that since there was no certainty as to the direction of winding of the transformer primary as he receives them, determination of the optimal polarity of the plug was/is a matter for experimentation, since there may well be variance from one unit to the next.

Trying to understand this, by experimentation do you mean plugging in one way, then turning it upside down? You have two options only, correct?
