Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

RE: It's easy, IF your speakers meet certain requirements.

I can easily hear the difference resulting from speaker cable switch but not as clearly from the DAC switch. This is what I hear generally: in one orientation the sound stage is bigger, more open and the bass seems a bit "better", in the other orientation everything shrinks down very slightly, the mid range and bass become less full sounding (music is a bit washed out).

This is without a doubt the analysis/comparison that very quickly drives me nuts. Switching from the speakers is clearly audible but takes too much time to do regularly and the DAC phase switch is subtle so I usually don't bother because in general I like and enjoy the sound I hear in my system. One way sounds better on a one song and vice versa on another song, sometimes I hear a difference that seems worth it and sometimes not. I listen to probably around 5-25 hours of music a week in my system, comparing phase would probably reduce this to 1-5 hours a week!:)
