Rogue preamp owners - inverted polarity, do you???


I just received my Rogue 66 preamp back from Mark with the Magnum upgrade. Prior I had been running it without the polarity inverted as suggested by the owners manual (who reads those things anyways...unless there's a problem). I decided to try it the "factory" way and invert my speaker cable leads and found there was a difference but I am not sure if its a difference for the better. I find the sound smoother (maybe a little less detail) and the soundstage seems compressed somewhat in terms of width. Now how much of the difference is attributed to the inversion or the Magnum upgrade (obviously the new linestage tubes play a big part) is impossible to determine at this point...

For you owners of Rogue preamps - do you invert or not???

Mezmo, simply press and hold the function button down on the Meridian remote. Without releasing the function button press the off button which also serves as the phase inverter while the function button is pressed. The function button operates the alternate functions written in blue script below each of the buttons that serve a dual function. The 508 display will show a minus sign (-) if the phase is inverted and a plus sign (+) if not. Press the off (phase) button a second time to change the polarity while continuing to keep the function button pressed.
