A slight digression...
For a long time I've wondered if the ear, being a non-linear 'device' can
actually detect absolute phase at low frequencies. i.e. if the compressions and
rarefactions were swapped, would it sound different?
To test this with a mono source presumably all you'd have to do would be to
have an asymmetric signal and swap the speaker leads, but how would you
objectively test the listener?
