D PREMIER PHASE BUTTON

[Jamington2004]

Never had the slightest knowledge or concern about phase before. Apart from making sure my positive and negative at speaker end matched the amp end. Although sometimes I read that’s polarity, sometimes phase.

Anyway why did Devialet suddenly deem phase so important to the listener that one of the 3 buttons on their remote has been labelled “Phase Invert”

I’m now worried my music might be out of phase and not sounding best but with no way of knowing what I am listening for!! 

I tried pressing a few times and can hear no difference. I even tried it when using test voice track to set my balance which I can’t seem to get right - if left is ok, and centre is ok, right is way off. I read phase issues could cause this issue with soundstage - but again it made no difference.

So I guess it’s a general interest why Devialet prioritised this feature so obviously when most people like me never gave a **** - I hope it’s that I’ve been missing out all these years!!!

And also any dummies guide to phase issues for a normal listener like me - all the stuff on Google is mind boggling to me and seemingly aimed at sound engineers 

Thanks all

P.S i reprogrammed the button as mute - but it still says phase on the case so I don’t think I’ll ever rest until I know!!
