| 120/115V vs. 100V Yeah, Japan is 100v. Might be like a brown-out to use it.Taiwan uses the same voltage as the USA. Maybe you can find something in Hong Kong made for that market. | |

| Phase Inversion in Preamplifer? If your system is phase correct, playing music recorded out of phase will not change the phase of your system. If not a mistake, they may have recorded it out of phase to create the sound they wanted when you play it back, that is all. Grooves on ... | |
| Phase Inversion in Preamplifer? If a system is out of phase you are more likely to hear differences at the frequency extremes, not in the center midrange like vocals. Affects the bass the most in my experience.I would think having the right channel out the left and vise-versa wo... | |

| REL is dead. Long live REL I don't mean to say there is anything wrong with it per se. Sumiko has a fine reputation. No one would accuse Panasonic of making junk. But all the same, they were the biggest buyer of US nameplates for re-branding (Quasar and Magnavox just to nam... |
