Dear music loving audiophiles and inmates,The Musical Fidelity Xcan-V2 tube headphone amplifier is inverting and the AKG K701 headphones are also inverting but neither manufacture informs its customers of that fact.

Dear Markrohr,How so?
Useless: Whether or not any one piece of gear is inverting or not is of no import, as the signal has likely been inverted a dozen times or more between the recording microphone and your ears. What the listener gets in the end is a crap shoot.Misleading: You make it sound as if it is important whether a given piece of gear inverts. Why? CDs, LPs, tapes, FM broadcasts, you name it, come both ways, always have, always will. Whether the software or hardware is one way or the other--one cannot say either is "inverted" or not in the absence of a standard or compliance with it, merely that it is one way or the other--is of no importance. What is of importance for those whose systems reveal polarity is the ability to switch easily from one to the other , that they might achieve absolute polarity at the ear--the only kind of absolute polarity there is.
Your posts regarding the polarity of CDs and gear, and your bogus pronouncements ("99% of CDs are inverted"--oops, that was last week) confuse the issue for folks who otherwise might achieve better sound for about half their record collections, for free.
That's truly unfortunate. Please stop. Or come out with your damn product.

I got word that Prof. I. Lirpa wants you to join him in Kiev, Russia to develop his all new Inversion Correction Technology. He claims the new device corrects inverted preamps. You simply place the device inside the preamp's case, flip the preamp so it's upside down, and voila. The preamp is no longer inverted.
