A viewer of my videos and member he suggested that I do a video commenting on a video that Paul McGown did on audibility of phase shifts. Here is Paul's video which was really about a different question (why we need wideband amplifiers) but turned it into phase being an audible problem:
Here is my answer to him:
EDIT:
I knew I should have waited until the end of your video. You're referring to the phase of an individual sound wave; in other words, the absolute phase position of a sound. Of course you are right, the is no difference.

Of course phase is an important electrical and acoustic thing and has relevance in countless situations. It is just that it should not be used to create myths and fear in audiophiles with respect to audibility in the context Paul and others are using.
