Pryso, no, no such beliefs about RS. That's why I added the "hopefully" in my comment. However, the Rives test CD does rely on that consistency as you're supposed to measure the absolute levels and then add/subtract the known deviations from flat OR use the set of test tones that are pre-calibrated to those deviations. I'm sure it works reasonably well even if it's not perfect, and it's certainly cheaper than the alternative of a professional, calibrated meter.
High End Audio and Your hearing as you get older
.
I understand that your hearing decreases as you get older. Does it decrease to the point where at say, age 70, a mid-fi preamp and cd player sounds just as good as a high end preamp and cd player.
I'm 57 now, but wondering if when I'm 70, all this hi-fi stuff will sound the same as mid-fi stuff to a pair of old ears.
