I suspect there are a LOT of auditory phenomena which the ordinary music lover cannot readily discern (maybe especially under the stress of ABX conditions), but which can be readily heard and identified by those who have spent LOTS of time listening for the subtler effects and training themselves to recognize said effects.
I've known technicians who can listen to pink noise and instantly pinpoint to within a few Hertz any peaks or dips in the system response, and can hear and identify distortions at levels below 1%. Probably some innate talent there (like perfect pitch), but certainly cultivated through much practice in critical listening. My own hearing is pretty good, but not THAT good -- I can recognize problems with phase and frequency response when they are present -- something just sounds "wrong" -- but have to trot out the test gear to pinpoint them.
