Reversing the positive and negative on the speaker will not harm anything. There is no way to reverse the positive and negative on the preamp cables. BTW, you might not hear any difference if you do invert the phase! Give it a try you have nothing to lose!
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
