Invert ?


I’ve owned the Audio Research Ref 6 SE for about a year or so. One thing I don’t understand is the Invert switch. What is this used for exactly. The manual doesn’t not go into detail at all. Actually I’ve always been afraid to use it thinking I may damage something. Thanks in advance

also… the Herron gear has an AC inversion switch…. plainly audible… just to add to the myrid possibilities of neurotic listening….

Beyond the recording polarity ( which unless you make your own references ( hint ), polarity and achievement of absolute polarity is math for the active electrical components ( do the invert or not ) AND importantly but beyond frequently ignored, how do your speakers do on the impulse test ?
 

@clio09 has it correct, there are many sonic curse or, i prefer blessings… can you hear polarity, pitch, phase, time…. or ? 

The wood reference fascinating and this thread excellent….. audiogon at it’s best….
