Is Phase and polarity the same thing?


In- phase out of phase, absolute polarity is one different
from the other?My pre-amp has a polarity button when I use it my system seems to sound better is it correcting something
that's not right?

It is important to distinguish between absolute phase and relative phase. There is no standard in the recording industry for absolute phase , that is why so many records sound better reversed. Relative phase means the speakers being in phase with each other. Perhaps they should be called polarity rather than phase, but no one does.
