Need some help

absolute phase is not the same as relative phase. check it out.

I thought it was fairly common knowledge that CJ preamps invert phase. This is the first time I've heard of it making an easily audible difference.

It's relatively easy to hear the difference between correct and inverted phase with some instruments. Brass is a prime example. Because brass instruments produce an extremely asymmetrical waveform they are a prime example.

Generally, any amplifier that has one or an uneven number of stages will invert absolute polarity. Each stage inverts polarity.

For the curious check out The Wood Effect by Clark Johnsen.

The old Audio Annual Equipment Directory had a specs column that indicated if a piece of gear inverted absolute phase.

Polarity. Wow, who woulda thunk.

It was suggested he check this in post 2. This is post 3



If they were wired incorrectly, I'd let the manufacturer know about it, or at least the next owner.

new owner is aware…..

I really like the Sabrina’s sound great from top to bottom Imo.

yeah they do sound amazing….nice thing is that they were set up in a room that’s the exact same size as mine……incredible sound!

congrats on new set-up!!

Newer B&W speakers have an octave to octave and 1/2 wide peak centered around 10 KHZ which make the sound seem very shrill to me. But I bet speaker room placement and your seating position need to be modified.

Thanks but I moved them out for some Sabrina X's....
