Crossing Left and Right Speakers

@newbee

:-) I am totally completely unequivocally IN phase. Further I never had any issues with sound quality. I heard the statement made in a YT video and I can’t see how it would make a difference. I tried it and it does make a difference. I don’t have any issues with my phase 😂

If I wanted to be out of phase I would just switch the phase on my source. I can tell what out of phase is.

Are you guys trolling me?

I don't have a problem with phase, I don't have any problem whatsoever with my sound. I heard in an you tube video that switching the R speaker into the left and vise versa would create a change. I would assume it would just be a mirror image, but it isn't.

I don't have any confusion on what putting a speaker out of phase would do, and I wouldn't be surprised at all that putting a speaker out of phase would in fact put that speaker out of phase.🤣

Yes my QS pre is reversed phase and my dac is switched, so....everything is in phase. My source is out of phase, the signal goes to the pre which has switched phased, so now the phase is IN, it leaves my pre and goes to my amps and the speaks IN phase. If I couldnt tell when my speakers were out of phase, I would have no business listening to music. 

The issue is not about phase, at all, in any way whatsoever. Infact there is no issue, it was a statement I heard in an youtube video about switching speakers. Nothing at all to do with polarity or phase.

"Since the OP is loosing his center image "

OMG, you guys are trolling me. It's quite funny and I thank you.

Just in case.....I have zero issue with my center stage or any and all stages. There is nothing wrong wi......

ahhh, never mind

🤣

"By flipping the channels in an audio piece you are familiar with, could the brain be more preoccupied with trying to the push the left back into the right channel? The relatively small imperfections,"

Interesting idea. Yes I tried it with music Im not terribly familiar with. The drum issue is funny because some drummers are left handed....

I was a professional drummer for some time and I always notice the reversed drummer, but as I mentioned it is true with unfamiliar pieces. The sound is quite specific too, doesn't sound like being out of phase.

An example I found in a familiar piece was that the bass lines went way back in the center image, very quiet, which would happen if it were out of phase, but it was different, it was physically farther back in the background.

Still the make question is why? why not just a mirror image.

Your Idea makes a lot of sense but it does happen with unfamiliar pieces.
