Ahh..very true..but you need to know for sure if your cans are correct for this to be valid. case in point: A very famous engineer/producer working in another room from me once used his clicker on the vocal mic through his ns10's without checking the chain (i.e. to see oif the console, mic tie line, etc were in absolute polarity)...he his ns10's to be 180 out. He fliped the leads into them. When thew assistant told me this I (having only just the week before checked EVERY mic, speaker, ect e=in every room in the facillity) scoped it out. Wouldn't you know that the mic cable was a phase reversal (who did that?)...so he recorded the vocal 180 out.
