Ok, in other words, should the picture be turned 180 degrees?

2018-05-20 10:48:06 UTC  

And how the fuck is that cable lnverting gravity?

2018-05-20 10:48:06 UTC  

Or did you glue speakers to your furniture

2018-05-20 10:48:12 UTC  

glue

2018-05-20 10:48:13 UTC  

lots of glue

2018-05-20 10:48:16 UTC  

idk I thought it was upside down too

2018-05-20 10:49:15 UTC

Thanks for the picture of an amorphous blob in your hand

2018-05-20 10:50:04 UTC  

Won't the vibrations eventually tear the bond?

2018-05-20 10:50:48 UTC  

that wont hold for long

2018-05-20 10:51:43 UTC  

My shits look like that some days

2018-05-20 10:51:55 UTC  

@Julian it has for like 2 years

?????????????????????

The first order of business is to reverse electrical polarity (or phase, if you prefer). That's easy enough if you have a polarity switch on your DAC or preamplifier. But if like many audio systems yours does not provide for polarity switching, you probably won't bother to do it by reversing electrical plugs or speaker connections.

2018-05-20 11:04:01 UTC  

ok then

2018-05-20 11:08:12 UTC  

kek thats so rarted

2018-05-20 11:20:57 UTC  

polarity switch on your dac on preamp

2018-05-20 11:20:58 UTC  

what

2018-05-20 11:20:59 UTC  

i've never seen that

2018-05-20 11:21:11 UTC  

i have

2018-05-20 11:21:18 UTC  

its not particularly useful lol

2018-05-20 11:21:30 UTC  

i guessi tsu seful if your dumb and cant plug it in right?

2018-05-20 11:22:14 UTC  

Some digital recordings are made in antiphase, and it never says on the box. Most people (me!) can't detect this, but if you can, push the button.

2018-05-20 11:22:16 UTC  

huh

2018-05-20 11:22:19 UTC  

This subject drive's me nuts.

Quite a few pre amplifiers have the outputs inverted and to my knowledge the way to counteract this is to reverse the polarity on the speakers wtf:doh: I still don't know why this is.

2018-05-20 11:22:39 UTC  

wtf

2018-05-20 11:51:24 UTC  

I can detect polarity on earphones tbh

2018-05-20 11:51:37 UTC  

Dunno bout speakers

2018-05-20 16:36:02 UTC  

jc this budget setup

2018-05-20 16:36:26 UTC  

```This is a pure tube phono stage from China that cost about $65. It comes in pieces. Two acrylic plates, the PCB, the power transformer, three driver tubes, a rectifier tube, and some other hardware. Assembly wasn't too bad, and I had to buy a longer power cable to route it behind my desk. I also replaced the cheap Chinese tubes with Voskhod 6N2P-EV tubes (NOS matched trio for $20) for the drivers and a Reflector 6C4P-EV (NOS for $10) for the rectifier.

```

2018-05-20 16:36:51 UTC  

that little dot amp sucks btw

2018-05-20 16:38:15 UTC  

shill me on vinyl

2018-05-20 16:38:46 UTC  

is there any reason why this depreciated format is still used in $CURRENT_YEAR besides retro nostalgia?

2018-05-20 16:39:00 UTC  

no
