Inverted phase preamps?


What is the best way to adjust for this in your system? Could you give a detailed view of what you reccomend, for example: reverse speaker wires at the amp?,etc. I have heard different ideas from some reputable people. I know that it comes down to what sounds the best, but I would be very interested in hearing your experience with this. Thanks.

OK, at first I was going to say, "good grief, what difference does it make which end of the speaker wire you reverse." Then I thought about all of the cable break-in freaks (no offense intended) and I thought, well, if you are concerned about cable break-in and believe that speaker cables are directional, I would guess that it would be preferrable to switch the speaker cables at the speaker end. That way the electron flow is consistent through the speaker wire, flowing the same direction as it had prior to the reversal. The only difference at this point would be the direction of travel for the driver.

I'm no expert, no cable break-in freak, physicist, etc., but it kinda makes sense to me to reverse the cables at the speaker end.

Enjoy,
