Or perhaps the equipment that I used was not made by clueless people?
CJ I believe one of the points you keep harping on is that most people are clueless. So... as to your equipment...

This is all theory.
CJ Noop. Actuality, actually.
If you did it yourself then you would realize that that there is no straight answer to this question and BTW it has nothing to do with secondary but with primary.
CJ The primary must, in a sense, meet code. No such convention applies, I repeat, to the secondary -- whose leads can be switched with impunity.
Yes, if you deal with ONE transformer then the primary has only one position where the leakage between neutral and ground is minimal. But what if you have two transformer or 8 transformers as I have in my amps?
CJ Then you may have a problem!
Setting each of them individually according the minimum leakage does not assure that all of them combined will have the minimum leakage .
CJ Never said it would. That's yet another problem.
Furthermore, take two amps with properly optimized minimum leakage assembly, combine then in the one single ended system and measure the leakage with straight and revered electrical polarity on primary. The logic suggests that if the each of the component with minimum leakage combined in the straight electrical polarity then the summing leakage shall be lower as well. Unfortunately it is not always the case. This makes the subject much more complex than just a theoretical debate.
CJ O yay. Never promised you a rose garden.

It has absolutely nothing to do The Wood Effect, but you can’t help your to bring it in, again,
CJ Rudeness duly noted. Folks, in case you care to learn the truth of the matter, AC Polarity is the subject of Chapter 7.5, pages 63-66. Its connection to acoustic polarity is established there too. That Romy should so boldly assert otherwise, leads me to think that there must be some pages missing in his copy; I must alert the publisher.
