Oddly enough, I suspect there may be...based on a rather odd turn of
personal
experience! About 20-odd years ago, I had a Heathkit receiver...forget the
model. Anyway, it had been written up in audio magazines as probably the
best receiver then available...and it had (I think only in FM stereo mode)
a "Phase" control which could be used to put the two stereo channels in
correct phase (a problem so far not mentioned in this thread).

All I know is (was) that the control had a very noticeable effect on
the sound!
