I plan on conducting experiments this weekend, so I'll have more to say later. For the moment (until I prove to myself that I'm mistaken), I don't really think it's a real issue. In any case, I'd bet about half of the recordings in my collection are out of (absolute) phase from the other half - should I be flipping my speaker wires back and forth trying to figure out which orientation is "right" for each disc? This sounds like a real PITA to me!Back in the late 60s, I had a receiver (Voice of Music) that had a phase switch on it, but I haven't (to the best of my recollection) owned a piece of electronics (except for subwoofers - for the obvious reason of RELATIVE phase) with such a switch since. There must be a reason for that, no?
The biggest problem with phase, to my knowledge, has to be the partial, frequency dependent shifts induced by various reactive components of a passive crossover.
