Phase inverted..why?

its not hogwash at all...
go buy a cd with a polarity test on it and then swap around your cables...
if you can't hear the difference you have some major hearing problems

No hearing problems here - got a little tendonitus in the left elbow though.

Pops, did you develope the tendonitus loading disks and Lps? The fairly rare and often undiagnosed "music-lover's elbow." Work on loading with the right hand.

I'm in awe!!

Sincerely
I remain

That's what the doc said - pretty impressive huh?
