Re: Speaking of Absloute Phase...

because the cutting engineer wants to sum as much as possible to mono to cut the groove deeper. Mono info takes less space and can be louder. bass will create mistracking problems so it's summed for vinyl anyway. But summing that information and the geometry problems with a stylus moving back and forth create phase anomolies between channels in vinyl playback. everyone who cuts records knows this, but then again vinyl fans perceive it has a wider soundstage. so, is it really a flaw? Viyl has more second order harmonic distortion, but again if you lik the sound...

You know a fender tweed deluxe guitar amp has a huge amount of distortion compared to a modern solid state amp for guitar, but they sound a LOT better.
