Absolute phase of the recording is easily measured. Not all recordings preserve absolute phase. Instruments or voices recorded out-of-phase can be most easily discerned with speakers that preserve the recorded waveform shape, typically full-range single-driver or multi-driver systems that are designed to preserve the waveform timing and phase. Again, that a speaker preserves the waveform timing and phase is easily measured... see Stereophile's measurements in speaker reviews for details. Not everyone believes this is audible and not everyone who believes it is audible can discern this. I have speakers that do preserve waveform timing and phase and I can discern this. I have setup my main sources (computer music player and vinyl) so that I can easily swap phases. And of course, in some cases, some of the instrument or vocal tracks will be absolute-phase-correct and others reversed, which means one has to pick the best compromise.
