clark johnsen wrote abook - 'the wood effect' which contains some discussion about this entity. clark also posts either here or aa, cant remeber if he actually posts here.
the best explanantion ive heard is: air compresses at initial impact more rapidly than it relaxes in rarefaction. thus, an asymetrical resultant waveform. therefore, there is only one correct way to listen to a reproduced sound.
i was auditioning an adcom cd player which had a remotely controllable absolute phase control. i was skeptical of the effect but tried it just because it was there. i was dumbfounded at the change in sound. distinctly noticeable and distictly right in one position than the other.
if i had remotely controllable equip, id want at least volume, bass, phase and source control.
