I do know this: if you could actually adjust the phase with something like Little Labs' IBP: http://www.littlelabs.com/ibp.html you'd achieve a better result. Of course with an analog phase tool you can only retard a track, not move it forward in time. |
Well that's as good a description as any, and it can also be applied to actually changing the phase relationship by regarding or advancing one of the tracks - you would be making the peaks and troughs more congruent.
Another way to look at it perhaps would be that when I press the button I am compensating for a sub-optimal phase relationship, which implies that with one or several tracks inverted, the phase relationship is improved, more congruent.
At any rate, whilst it is technically wrong to call it a phase button I can see why people did, do and will call it that.
