I try to start a new thread here for a VERY IMPORTANT question about phase on the CD tracks...
After many test I don not have any doubt about this my theory... I sent my thoughts to many technical experts, electronics designers... But they generally answer with numbers and data... I don't need this, I just ask to them and to all audiophiles guys to do their tests... And sure, he has a very good setup... Can go easily to confirm my thesis... THANKS!
READ THIS AND TRY!!! DO YOUR PERSONAL TEST, PLEASE...
Positive polarity (+ correct) or negative polarity (- incorrect).
If the number of tracks on a CD is equal, the first track will be set in phase, (+ polarity), the second inverted (- polarity) and so on all alternating: + - + - ...
If the number of tracks on a CD is odd, the first track will be set out of phase, (- polarity), the second inverted (+ polarity) and so on all alternating: - + - +...
So the last track is always - (negative).
I can't give you any explication, but may be, my conclusion is that this depends on the printing of the CD and its probably the criterion for which the laser of the CD player reads the information about the structure of the CD (number of the tracks...).
Waiting for your tests!
Best regards to all!
