...Ralph, what's the cheapest way to get a frequency response readout at the listening position?

I have a Radio Shack SPL meter, but I use the Studio Six app for my iPhone/iPad. Click here for info.
While I use a series of bass test tones from the Stereophile Test CD Vol 1, you can download bass tones from a link provided courtesy of Tom Manley found here .
It is a native OGG file for computer playback, but can be transcoded to WAV if you wanted to burn a CD. If you'd like the spreadsheet I use for graphing the results, download it here . Note that it contains known corrections for the RS meter. You can edit or zero them out.
Happy measuring! Neutral bass just sounds better to me.
I used the exact same Stereophole test CD. I also used this setup to test my hearing 17 years ago, and I was pretty shocked. I heard nothing after the 10,000 Hz signal then, and I know it has worsened since.
I was shocked that I heard nothing over 10k as well. A friend of mine who is both an audiophile and a ENT doctor told me almost every one starts loosing that range in there 40's. I had no idea it was that early.
And he said that crap about "energy" above those frequencies is bull. You would need so much energy at 20k to make a sensory difference that it would be enough to start loosening your teeth fillings.
