done by reversing the positive and negative connections on either your
cartridge or your speakers (be sure to reverse both channels).
If you are not sure about the phase of every component in your system,
you can establish correct absolute phase by careful listening. When the
system is in correct phase, transients will be noticeably cleaner and
more sharply defined. The effect is especially apparent on plucked string
sounds. A final warning-not all records are phase correct (including
some "audiophile" recordings), so listen to several before concluding
your investigation of absolute phase.
THE IMPORTANCE OF WIRES
Interconnect and speaker wires are an important element in your stereo
system. Interconnects are available which will permit a reference quality
system to blossom and fulfill its promise of musical reality. Others will
strangle the sytem to the point where it becomes no better than average.
To complicate matters, our experience suggests that the choice of
interconnects will be system dependent-those that are ranked first on a
given system may be a poor choice for a different system. Consult your
Motif dealer for recommendations for your specific system.
