Oh good grief... I'm not strumming - and even if I was this has NOTHING to do with polarity - I'm plucking a single string to create a near sine wave which is being mixed with the near sine wave from my guitar tuner. If I pluck a string and then switch the polarity on the pickup, the polarity instantly switches 180 degrees. By simultaneously turning the machine head tuner I vary the pitch without changing the polarity.
Obviously, the two sine waves are not perfectly "in phase" with each other except by pure chance...but, unlike pitch, timbre and amplitude we can't directly hear "phase" - just as well really otherwise the ONLY musical instrument we would be able to tolerate would be a single signal generator... -- Phil Leigh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23759 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
