Conrad Johnson PV10AL Tube & Polarity Questions?

I don't have the owners manual for mine but I thought I read somewhere that the CJ's invert polarity? Is this true because it sure sounds that way in my system. I also would like to experiment with changing some tubes around. I listen to Rock & Roll. I have a pair of Tylo Monitors, Mc Cormack DNA-1, Philips 963SA with DH labs cable. I have never swapped tubes & have no idea what should be in there or is what in there at the moment. Where do I begin?

ALL cj pre amps invert polarity. It's a given.

While I am impressed with your knowledge, I insist ALL (atleast the dozen or so models I've USED) cj pre amps invert polarity. I HAVE OWNED THE PV-10 and assure / confirm / can bet it inverts!!
I agree the best way is to swap speaker cables. However, in a digital-only system, you can simply invert polarity at the CD player / DAC stage - if so equipped.
Enjoy !

Jeffery, I regret the "universal" statement. Perhaps it was somewhat overstated in excitment... You do however confirm that the PV10 inverts polarity - yes ? Good. (For sake of clear communication!)

For the future, I take note of your suggestion with my thanks.

By the way, my best friend's wife is an excellent driver !
