Why do you mention 50%? Are you implying that in 50% of the cases the phase is just reversed? If so, a simple phase inversion will restore correct phase. In my experience phase inversion on almost any recording (of the ones I usually listen to, admittedly) a substantial difference can be heard. Also, it seems phase coherency is confused with absolute polarity in a lot of the discussions here. -- 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 [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
