In my system, when everything is in very good order (contacts are hugely important), hitting the "better" polarity (I won't say "right", as I don't know if it is the correct in any sense) I get less of a feeling of listening to a hifi, and less sense of listening to speakers (I use dynamic ones, Yamaha NS-2000). The difference is subtle if you listen for the wrong things, but pretty obvious if you know what to listen for. It is more a change in the totality of the soundstage, than anything that can be pinpointed. I find that the "better" polarity makes me want to listen a lot more, and the incorrect makes me lose interest much faster in the music. (So don't expect huge differences at switch-over time, you need to let the music go on for a while to give your brain time to build up a representation of what it is hearing.) -- P Floding ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Floding's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2932 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22118 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
