Yanni or Laurel?

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

I only hear Laurel and my wife only hears Yanni.

LOL...we had Predator versus Alien, now we could have Yanni versus Laurel. Rob Zombie could direct.

Gee... if only audiophiles had tone controls or worse yet, access to an Eeekqualizer in their systems, they could very easily demonstrate that if you boost the low mids (300-600 Hz)... you and everybody would hear Laurel, and if you boost the upper mids (1-4k) you will hear nothing but Yanny. (And if you go back to 1989... you'll hear nothing but Yanni.... but i digress). It depends on which partials of sound dominate in your brain... and that depends BOTH on your hearing, and the playback system.
