Re: You've got it right.

How to ruin the phasing of your system by having the two channels out of phase with each other: As Robert Browning put it, "let me count the ways". (1) The most common way is to mis-wire your spkrs with respect to each other. (It takes too long to explain how to do that; use your imagination.) (2) If you use phono, the next most common way is to mis-wire your cartridge at the little output pins, mixing up hot and ground in the same way as one could do with one's spkrs. (3) If you are a do-it-yourselfer, then there are a jillion other ways to create this problem with a soldering iron.
As for your question on who can hear the difference when the phasing of both channels is switched simultaneously by 180 degrees, I know that I cannot. But there are a select few who claim that they can and that it makes a tremendous difference in sonics. I pity them. They have another thing to worry about.
