Yanni or Laurel?

Is this why some reviewers/audiophiles hear differences others can't?

I only hear Laurel and my wife only hears Yanni.

It is still interesting that while what one hears may vary among speaker source (tv, computer speakers, etc), different people listening to the same source hear something different.
