Hi, All,
I own a Marantz SA-11S1 SACD/CD player, and I have been thinking about what seems to me to be a simple way to switch between normal and inverted polarity...
The SA-11 has the usual unbalanced RCAs and also balanced XLR outputs (unused in my setup).
What I'm considering is leaving my usual unbalanced interconnects running to the usual preamp inputs for normal polarity, and then making up a set of interconnects to run from pin 1 (ground) and 2 ("cold") of the XLR connectors and run into an unused preamp input for inverted polarity.
(Note that Marantz balanced output connectors are wired "backward" from the usual standard, that is they are "pin 3 hot, pin 2 cold".)
I could then switch between normal and inverted polarity by simply switching between preamp inputs.
The Marantz manual does advise that only one set of outputs should be connected at a time, but only one set of interconnects would be connected for each preamp switch position.
Would this scheme work?
Any advice or comments?
Thanks!
Ken
