In a struggle to be happy and free

Drystone Wall

It’s just a phase

You know what I hate? I hate when I sit down to watch a program, only to discover that the stereo audio signal is being broadcast out of phase. Talk about distracting!

Should I call the cable company? Yea, definitely not. It happens that they sometimes rebroadcast a station with only one of the stereo channels functioning. I once tried to call about it and the rep couldn’t understand what I meant. If they can’t understand “the sound is only coming from the left speaker,” do I have a hope in hell of then getting “the phase of one channel is offset 180° resulting on the bass cancelling itself out completely and the rest of the signal sounding like it’s coming from behind me!”?

Not likely. Damned Rogers.

    Welcome to the lack of broadcast standards. I bet they were never updated to mandate quality stereo.

    I’ve had dvd’s years ago when channels were reversed.
