M, during the last decade or so, c-j has simplified its preamp designs and now uses only one gain stage in the line stages of its preamps. Of course, with an odd number of gain stages, namely one, these do indeed invert signal polarity. I've owned 3 c-j preamps, 2 somewhat old (a PV5 and a Premier 3) and one newer one, a PV10AL without balance control. The first 2 have 4 gain stages (including the fono section), the latter just 1.
My strong language was due to your use of 100%-universal, all-encompassing language when it's simply not correct. For instance, your initial statement AND restatement are as incorrect as saying that all woman drivers are poor drivers. It simply isn't so.
This hobby is difficult enough for some of us without incorrect statements such as yours. Pls understand--I'm not trying to start an arguement here, I'm merely trying to assist in communicating clearly. Perhaps in the future you might say something like virtually all modern c-j preamps invert polarity.
But of course you may write anything you like, just as I can.
