Yes, phase and invert are sometimes used to refer to changing the polarity.

Love Nickel Creek’s debut album. Their instruments and vocals are sounding so real and natural.

mijostyn,You have tested polarity in your system and you hear no difference. No problem, I take your word for it. However, you then leap to the  assumption that no one else can either. You have no way of determining or knowing that for certain, yo...

“P.S. Is there any way to block or ignore users on here?”I think it’s on a lot of people’s wish list, but, unfortunately, no.

tyray & others,Please don’t argue with, or try to convince, George on this thread. He is completely close minded, and it will only aid him in his avowed purpose, which is shutting down threads like this.

scm,it looks like Herron preamps also have a polarity switch (labeled “Invert”) on the front panel, and remote. Very nice!AC polarity is actually a whole different issue, and can of worms. I’ve never heard of a component with a switch like that, c...

The trick is to have a switch, or some other similar means to change it on the fly. Once I installed the switch on my amp, it was very easy to determine which way was better for each recording. To me, the most logical place to have it is on your p...

I’m still loving what 6 stones (2 red, 2 blue, 2 clear) are doing on top of my power conditioner. Clear improvements across the board; transparency, detail, naturalness, dynamics, PRAT, you name it.Has anyone tried any of the QSA outlets?

Please do not make this thread about George. He clearly has a personal vendetta against products and posters he disagrees with. His purpose in posting is to stir up controversy, draw people into fights and get threads shut down. His clear mission ...

History is littered with “experts” who said “That’s impossible, can't be done!”…until someone did.

Can anyone tell me if the Puritan PSM156 has a fuse? 
A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport
“I asked him about the Pro-Ject and how he felt it compared to the Jays and although he felt the Pro-Ject sounded better, he never warmed to the feel and use of the Pro-Ject. Different strokes for different folks.”I wonder if it’s because the Pro-...
