Rwbadley,
No tongue-in-cheek. Most tube amps do not invert the phase of the output signal in order to simplify the circuit. The positive and negative taps are correctly positive and negative but the signal is 180 degrees out of phase. THe easiest and most efficacious way to get things in line is to swap the +/- at either speaker or amp end. If your preamp has a phase inversion feature (as Clio09's does) you can use that instead.
The manual for Auditude's ASL should state if this is the case with his particular amp. If it doesn't then I guess that most flawed of instruments must be employed,... the human ear.
Good luck!
