Correct Way to Invert Phase


Hi,

My Conrad Johnson preamp is phase inverting.

The CJ manual says to change the phase "...by reversing the positive and negative connections to your speakers (be sure to reverse both channels)..."

Can anyone explain why changing the positive and negative connections between the amp and preamp would not accomplish the same thing?

Just wondering if this could harm the components or is some other science at work here that I do not understand?

Thanks for listening,

What are some examples of songs with reversed phase . Would be interesting to see the differences. 
According to this thread 92% of all CDs play with inverted polarity (I heard similar stats before).

The take home message...........By he time all of the tracks on an album are mixed no one knows what the correct phase was. And lots of times the mixers will intentionally invert the phases because they think it sounds better.


I have a c-j that inverts phase, most of theirs do as they only have one stage of gain that inherently inverts phase.   I just swap speaker + and - .....  I also invert phase on my Velodyne SMS 1 so the sub gets "correct ' phase.
Before reversing the positive and negative connections to your speakers, check your power amp and sources if the phase/polarity inverted !
