Hey guys, apparently some orthos come with polarity reversed:http://wiki.faust3d.com/wiki/images/2/24/U70review79.jpg

The funny thing is that 38mm SFI's and T50RP drivers come with clear +/- signs but some T10's are know to be properly wired and others not huh? I'd swear that wiring them properly improves SQ ^^
Anyway, I see that one of my T20's is wrongly wired but has a color spot on the (supposedly) - tab: http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/7687/t20rp003xe7.jpg
Usually Fostex indeed seem to put color spots on the ground: http://cdn.head-fi.org/9/94/94da1c85_20111211_223521.jpeg
The other funny thing is that round Fostex diaphragms can be reversed so who's to say that diaphragms have been sandwiched to match the +/- signs on the baffle ><
Long story short, is it possible to check for driver polarity using a DMM?
wired in reverse phase

Drivers are out of polarity
