This would only help on a interconnect to a preamp That is known have reverse polarity , older CJ preamps used to, not speaker terminals. That’s was the only time to reverse one end of ale Ad on a interconnect.
Riddle me this....
It was recently suggested to me that by reversing the polarity of two stereo
speakers it will readjust the depth of field in your soundstage.
In case that is unclear- If a voice was perceived as being one foot behind the
speakers and you swapped the positive to negative on the terminals of both
speakers it would make that voice move to being perceived as
one foot in front of the plane of two stereo speakers.
Has anyone heard of this experiment and what can you
share about it?

....in short: Reversing your phase may pervert your stage...something like that...;) There was onceuponatime a means of crosswiring the L & R channels that didn't seem to indicate 180ing one or the other, but was purported to 'nifty things' to the stage....and wouldn't cook ones' amp... If anyone has a better SSD between ears in regard to this, chime in... (I already sift enough leisure into this digital sandbox....*L*) |
@mahgister i just want to say that you gave an exquisite explanation of the phenomenon. Even though I am not a physicist, the terms and relationships of the effect were clear. More importantly, you were able to draw a parallel with wider debates in the audio sphere. |
I am very happy that someone get the point in relation to my dicussion with Amir and the time dependant non linear way the ears works... Conditioned by engineering simplistic psychoa-coustic theory going back to Helmholtz many objectivist underestimate and dont know how the ears work , nor what a sound is ultimetaly...( i will not go there for the moment ) I am not a specialist at all... I only read about all that and it is plain to see that most objectivist had no idea of what they talk about when it is not about their measuring components toys.. For the phase problem i think lewm is right... I cannot impose my opinion here because i dont know, i dont have the Wood effect book anyway and i am not competent enough to contradict lewm , i think he is right anyway ... 😊 My best to you...
