Wired up wrong?

Mmmmm....this is strange.
I bought a cheap 42-5,snaps,90 just because it was there and I felt sorry for it! It's those big eyes and the chrome bumpers that did it! I unplugged my trusty little Nait, fired up the newly aquired items and the left and right channels are the wrong way round!Sounds previously coming from the right speaker now come from the left,and vice versa. I've double checked all connections and everything is correct.Could this be right and my Nait is wrong? I don't know which one is right! On the Nick Lowe track 'cracking up', his voice comes out to the right on the Nait and to the left on the other kit.Have I overlooked something stupid?

I suggest you install (or have your friendly dealer do so) BNC plugs soon. They are a world ahead of RCA's. Assuming of course you're staying with the pre/power approach rather than reverting to the magic of the Nait 2. Be careful though, you'll likely be looking for a 32.5 before you know it!
Pleased to hear the simple approach worked for you!

Bruce,
All over the world, we drive on the right side of the road. In England, it's the other side. Does it matter?
As long as all english drivers are on the same wrong side, no problem, they are in-phase.
Seriously, Candyman did not reverse polarities, but only left and right.
Some people say they can hear a difference if both channel are phase reversed. I can't and I think most of us can't.

I've never been there but I don't think Austrlaia is on the list.
But you forget Australia. Right is Right.
So, if you do hear phase reversed, what effect can you hear? Can you explain.
Of course, i don't speak of one channel out of phase vs the other, but both channels phase reversed.
