Conrad Johnson are hot on this topic and have a doctrine of 'absolute phase'. I could never tell the difference but I did it all the same, I.e. I swapped black and red on my speakers. If anyone can tell the difference on a blind test (consistently), then I may reevaluate my position and believe rather than subscribe on the off-chance.
For what it's worth, here were my thoughts on the matter: https://theartofsound.net/forum/show...Absolute+phase (ignore the second part of the post).

I just noticed audionote M-one pre amps are phase inverting , slightly puts me off them but from what i gather from this thread , it makes little difference
from the blurb
Audio Note (UK) M1 Line Pre Amplifier is a pure Class A, Zero Negative Feedback design, employing a single ECC82 dual triode valve.
It has been specifically engineered for sonic performance rather than technical specification, and offers an outstanding level of performance and value.
It fulfils all Audio Note (UK) Level 1 criteria: -
Pure Class A operation
Zero negative feedback
Materials and component quality
The M1 Line and M1 Phono are phase inverting.

It won't make a huge diffrence phil, and you can always swap the negative, and positive leads around on the speakers, to see which you prefer.
Much of the equipment out there inverts the signal, they just don't advertise the fact!

Thanks , as far as I can see only the m1 and m2 are phase inverting , the m3 seems not , am I right in this ?

I've been curious about this as I'm about to start refreshing a Quad 405-1 and I know it is phase inverting as standard . Used with a Quad pre amp that would of course right itself. Some of the mods for this change it to non-inverting and I wasn't sure if it was necessary. Sounds like it isn't...
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers...
Some Class D amps are phase inverting and I can hear a definite change when swapping RED for BLACK speaker cables.
