Phase switch on pre amp use?


My KCT pre amp has a "Phase" switch that baffles me. There is one on the unit itself and one on the remote. What is it used for? I am semi paranoid of myself or the wife accidently hitting the button on the remote while the system is playing. Any reason to be 'noided about this?
Thanks, John

It inverts the polarity of the signal output to your amp 180 degrees. So anything that follows would be out of phase from the original source. My cdp has a phase switch and I can't say it makes a difference although I've never listened critically for it. It certainly won't hurt anything. Why do you think they would put a switch that would cause harm so readily accessible?
