Ok, so what does Phase Inversion actually do??

Ok, I know it inverts the signal 180 degrees, but what does that do? Where does the signal get interpreted so that it 'changes' the sound...at my ear?

I just went from a Lexicon DC1 to a Sonic Frontiers Line 1, and love the Line 1. I think although the Lexicon played analytically correct, I think the Line 1 plays more true to life. I noticed on my Bee Gees DVD that they sounded very distinct yet harmonized so well. Something I never noticed with my Lexicon. I think Phase Inversion gave the sound more depth and enhanced the upper low frequencies, which may very well have to do with my room interaction.

So what is Phase Inversion??

reverse both pairs of your speaker cables & you'll experience phase inversion - only you can decide which way sounds better to you - but be aware that this is source-material dependent.
Please pursue the forum archives for better descriptions of phase relationships - it's been adequately covered.
