Thor TA-1000 - inerverting or non-inverting absolute phase?

Does anyone know for certain if a Thor TA-1000 preamp inverts absolute phase? I think the answer is "no" but wanted to confirm.

Thanks!

I’ve had mine for about four years now. All of my caps were upgraded to Vcaps and I have the Khozmo shunt attenuator volume control. It’s in a system with Atma-Sphere OTL amp, McCormack UDP Deluxe disc player, and Merlin Black Magic TSM speakers. Seems to balance out the OTL amp with a little added dynamics as opposed to other preamps I’ve tried, without compromising any detail or resolution. Magic indeed! Good preamps are hard to find. This one is truly outstanding. My Joule Electra LA-150 was euphonic (colored), veiled and slow in comparison.

I just bought a vac Renaissance 30/30 amp and may replace more caps in the Thor to soften the treble a tad. The Thor is so bulletproof, quiet and great sounding. Hard to imagine replacing it.
