My pre-amp inverts phase--what's up?!?


On the top case of my Counterpoint SA-3 tube pre-amp, there is a statment "This unit inverts phase". What does this mean? Do I have to do something to my cables/wires/power plug to "re-invert(!)" my phase??? How is this affecting the sound?

phase inversion in electronics usually stems form an odd number of gain stages in the device. inverting polarity at both spk cables is a fix but many if not 50/50 recordings have inverted phase and who knows how many recording channels have the same situation. i would really like absolute phase inversion as a remote control option. it floored me to truly hear the difference using an adcom cd player at a dealer.
