And, unless you are using full range single driver speakers, or digital crossovers, there is another potential phase inversion |

When designing my ZOTL Pre One I put a phase invert switch in because some people thought it was important. I was very careful to do the circuitry in a balanced way so that there was no extra circuitry for the in phase vs the reversed phase. I have never been able to hear a difference. I am indeed surprised by this result. David |

The recordings that I seem to be the most sensitive to are the RCA Living Stereo recordings either 2 or 3 track recordings. The recording path was inverted polarity from what I have read. They sound different to me when I flip the polarity. Better base and more high end to strings. |

Same here. I know my preamp inverts and pretty sure everything else does not(based on published info). So I flip polarity at the speaker output on the power amps. Having the subs out of phase is based on on listening |

Absolute phase is the least of one's worries when it comes to audio kit. Don't worry about the "mice" just take care of the "elephants." So to speak. |

Not driving me nuts, free and easy to do. Easy with a digital polarity control on the DAC. Just change it to see. Simple single driver headphones are interesting as well with a polarity inversion control. Fun stuff to do when it is cold outside. |
