polarity ?
« on: 4 Dec 2010, 11:48 pm »
I have a bp25 pre. I was wondering how often the members find recordings needing the polarity reverse feature. In my cd collection( around 200) I think reverse has been needed around  3 or 4 times. I like having the choice. Just curious about your experiences. :thankyou:

I have tried this on a lot of my recordings. Some records are recorded out of phase it seems and this is a corrective feature. I guess it pulls instead of pushes. There are other high class preamps that offer this choice(e.i.. Audio Research)

I have the 'inverted polarity' switch on my DAC inverted 100% of the time.
So I listen to Lps normal, but Cds inverted.
Just seems best that way with my Magnepan 3.6 (Bryston BP-26 and 4B-SST2.
(This was after playing  around with the switches for awhile, comparing.)
