The traditional measurements used to qualify audio signals are extremely simple in their signal processing. They use but a tiny fraction of the computational horsepower that goes on inside one's ears. Consequently, it is not at all difficult to hear subtle effects that don't show up with traditional measurements. There are more sophisticated signals processing techniques that can be used, but they aren't being used for recreational audio. You can find them in the defense and spook industries, among other places.
Real stereo recordings (two microphones) can and do capture vertical information in the timing of impulses and their reflections. Whether the mind can decode this is debatable, but there is no doubt that the information necessary to decode this is present in many recordings. A good listener or recording engineer can hear microphone patterns and reflections off of the stage, ceiling and other walls of the recording venue and this provides a start.
