Nowadays people expect much better than that Ray. I have mastering clients who will moan about changes of less than 1dB - and they can detect these changes reliably. The popular idea that changes of less than 1dB are inaudible has been well and truly debunked. Nowadays, designers of high quality audio gear are aiming for 20Hz - 20kHz at +/- 0.1dB in their analogue stages.
