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

You don't have to do anything if your amp also inverts polarity. However, if it doesn't all you havr to do is reverse the leads on your speaker, "positve to negative", ect. The effect of having your speakers hooked up out of phase is a less extended or softer bass response, less bloom and a less defined sound stage. Feel free to try your speakers both configurations to hear the difference.

If it inverts *absolute* polarity then switch *both* speaker connections (both blacks on red, etc).

My preamp also has an inverted output, apparently tube preamps invert the signal normally but some mfgr's re-invert it ahead of the outputs. I asked Dennis Had at Cary why he didn't re-invert; simple, he said, why add unnecessary circuitry when it is so easy to reverse the speaker cables?
