Preamp inverts signal.

My tube preamp inverts the signal and the manufacturer suggests to reverse the speaker leads at the speakers to correct. My CD player has a polarity switch, will activating this switch take care of this signal inversion, avoiding having to reverse speaker leads?

folkfreak -

if inverting makes 99% better, and CDs have a mix of polarity, how is that possible?

My Sony HAP server supposedly inverts and I always wonder about swapping leads, but if so many recordings are inverted, it's a random thing, no?

Allrighty boys, today I’m swapping speaker leads and hope I don’t burn the house down ;) will report back in a few days. Wish me luck, going into the bush.

Sidebar, how can I test my system for polarity? Test track?
