If the system is aligned properly there should be no phase difference
between left and right. In the digital domain in theory it is much
easier than in analogue. In the good old days I spent a lot of time
aligning heads to minimize phase differences.
However I am sure we have all sat at home and heard massive phase
problems on various shows. They are getting rarer.
