Greetings all. Aaron, ALL212, has convinced me I need a Reduction w/Integration upgrade so I ordered one. Does the Reduction invert phase? I see phase is not inverted with the Eros but didn't see anything mentioned for the Reduction. It sure sounded good and I failed to try the invert phase on my pre amp to see if it made a difference.

I'll be using a two speed DIY Cinemag SUT with an AT33PTG/II cart (.3mV). The sweet spot is on high, or 30dB, with Aaron's Reduction/Integration build in my system. It sounds fantastic for the money invested in it. He pushed me to get an Eros but I think it would be too much gain (80dB) with my SUT.

Thanks!

No, the phase is inverted then restored in the two sections of the tube(s).

Thank you Grainger!

I should have listened to Aaron in the first place. I sent an email cancelling the Reduction and to order an Eros instead.
