Default Anyone used a phase adjustor?

Thinking of getting one to tweak my system a little. Anyone used one? Do they introduce any noise/audible distortion?
I have a very sensitive ear for distortion and can't tolerate any at all.

Depends on the install and component used. Some systems they work great , mostly for time delay and correction applications.

What? The output (sound level) throughing off the tonal balance (Louder to left versus right)? Are you talking about the truck or the vette?

The Vette. The tweeter is WAY too close to my head.

There is, however (and call me crazy) but it hurts the SQ of the tweeter.
