Correct Way to Invert Phase

Hi,

My Conrad Johnson preamp is phase inverting.

The CJ manual says to change the phase "...by reversing the positive and negative connections to your speakers (be sure to reverse both channels)..."

Can anyone explain why changing the positive and negative connections between the amp and preamp would not accomplish the same thing?

Just wondering if this could harm the components or is some other science at work here that I do not understand?

Thanks for listening,

Dsper

With my system I can invert phase on either channel or both at the same time all by remote control from the listening position. With both speakers in phase and switching them together not one of you would be able to tell inverted from not and anyone who thinks they can is______(fill in the blank.)
I have no reason to doubt that is true with your system. Are you suggesting it would be true with all systems?
