Useful Arts Hornet Preamp Arrived Wired Out of Phase and Why an Out of Phase Signal Sounds Wrong

Описание: Not sure if it's insufficient quality control or just bad luck, but I bought a Useful Arts Hornet Preamp and when I plugged it in, I discovered that sadly, something inside the unit is wired out of phase. Tried different cables to verify it. It's rare, but it does happen. Since this is the 3rd time in my life I've received a piece of gear and found it was wired incorrectly at the factory, I thought I'd use it as a teaching moment to tell you more about how hot and cold signals work in a balanced audio output and help you identify the problem if this happens to you. I hope @wavedistributionusa will do a better job in the future of testing their units before they end up on store shelves and in your hands.

Let me know what you think. Your opinion matters.
