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

I have a Vinnie Rossi L2 preamp that inverts phase and I almost didn’t complete the purchase because of thick and slightly bloated bass and a detail imbalance... Vinnie said what most here say...but I switched phase at the speakers and I get much better / proper balance. ::shrugs::
