I understood that phase shift as a result of normal EQ in a mono track, or the same phase shift applied to both channels is inaudible. But phase shift can be audible when applied to only one channel of a stereo track, as it affects the stereo image, because we perceive a source's location partly through the arrival times of the signal to each of our ears.
