 I've had my "Le Club" assembled Django AVC for one week now and have logged about 100 hours on it during break-in. This is a VERY clean and precise sounding control unit. However, something had been "bugging" me and I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Yesterday I tried reversing phase at the speaker connections and now things seem to be much more "solid".

Can this unit possibly be inverting phase?
ps: I don't have a wiring diagram for the Django.

 The AVC doesn't invert phase.
There are two things though: the autoformers improve quite dramatically the first 100hrs and then more slowly after the next few hundred when they level off.
Second: is it possible the preamp you had before was phase inverting? Most tube pre's do that. Or maybe something else in the playback chain is inverting? The greater transparency of the AVC/TVC family allows such to be more easily heard.

 Thanks for your reply Brian.
The Django AVC certainly is transparent. It is a literal "clean window" through which to view the music/performance. I'll look elsewhere in my system for the answer/culprit. The Django has made me realize that much of what I previously attributed to source components and my speakers were actually artifacts of the Sonic Euphoria PLC I've been using for a couple of years. The SE PLC is also an "Inductive Control Unit." It has a substantial amount of gain, plus a big and a bit "fuzzy" sound w/o all of the detail that the Django seems to let through. It's not bad by any means ,,, just that the Django appears to be more "honest."

Best Regards,
