This paper surveys the current state of our knowledge regarding the audible consequences of phase nonlinearities in the audio chain, describes a series of experiments which the authors have conducted using a flexible system of all-pass networks carefully constructed for this purpose, and draws some preliminary conclusions regarding the audible effects of midrange phase distortion.

Scott Dorsey	Comment posted April 3, 2018 @ 16:25:08 UTC (Comment permalink) This is an overview of the basic theory behind audibility of group delay, and a discussion of possible experiments using synthesized waveforms.  Some preliminary listening tests are performed and they match well with the work done by Hansen and Madsen in _Threshold of Phase Detection by Hearing.
