I wouldn't be concerned. The difference between in phase and out of phase, is very small and very difficult to hear. Honestly, it took me a long time using revealing equipment to actually figure out what the difference was. And I could only do it by going back and forth using a source component that has a phase invert button like Brf mentions. Not onlt that, an album can be in or out of phase. And its about a 50/50 split. So even if set your equipment up in phase, the recording itself may be out of phase. That's why I say don't worry about it.
Reverse Phase Preamp with HT Bypass
I am considering purchase of reverse/inverted phase preamp. So, here is the situation as I understand it:
- In order to have the preamp operate properly, the phasing of my speakers need to be reversed. They are bi-wired, so the wiring of the positive (red) versus negative (black) speaker wire needs to be reversed coming from the amp on both posts.
- That means instead of red (positive) speaker wire to red (positive) post, it would now be red (positive) speaker wire to black (negative) post ... is that correct?
Issue: The way my system is set up now with pre/pro (AVR with HT and 2-channel capabilities) going into speakers "in phase" ... everything seems to be working properly. If I reverse the phase - in order to accommodate the new preamp reverse phasing - then what happens when control is returned to the AVR pre/pro via HT bypass? At that point the AVR pre/pro output load is "in phase" going into "reverse phase" speakers in the FL/FR channels of a 5.1 configuration. Will that create a phasing issue? If so, then what is a possible workaround? Please help me understand.
