Benz cartridge phase?


I have just read that Benz cartridges, (I have a Ruby 3H), have inverted phase; does anyone know if this is correct and if so what cartridge lead should I chabge?

Do you know if any other component in your system inverts polarity? If you have another one (an even number) do nothing as two negatives make a positive.

You should do what I do... listen to your favorite recordings both ways and see which way sounds better and more natural to you. You can do this simply by reversing the respective positive and negative speaker leads for each channel.

You can then leave the leads at the speaker the way it sounds best. However if you also have a CD player or other source in the system that doesn't invert then you need to invert the phono leads at the cartridge. Then you can leave the speaker leads in normal polarity for CD.
