I think Dave is quite right on this; the problem is that real sounds are
asymmetrical - consult any trumpet and oscilloscope.

So although there would be no audible difference on sine waves, any
other sounds would be turned upside down, and golden ears can hear
this. I confess I never could, but nevertheless was made to keep the
phase right from source to direction of music of the speaker cone, as
any purist broadcasting organisation, if there are any left, would

Just not so, since you're not dealing with an electrical signal but
sound pressure waves. So called absolute phase is another myth.

I'll concede it might make a difference if you were listening to one
cycle. But you're not so it doesn't.
