CD's you bring for auditioning


Do you also have some CD's which you use to audition equipment and which will reveal immediately shortcomings, eg I use

Buddy Guy - Sweet Tea (first couple of tracks can be unbelievable hard to listen to on some equipment

Pink Floyd - DSOTM, checkout the bass, the clocks can sound 'washed' up on some over-tubed systems

Pink Floyd - The Wall , played at loud volume will immediately reveal shortcomings on loudspeakers

and yours...

ben harper- burn one down, ground on down, and power of the gospel. burn for the percussion, ground for the way the song begins and ends, power for the intro.

Johnny cash- solitary man and the man comes around. solitary man for the guitar and the chorus of man comes around.

getz/peterson- blues for herky; there is a lovely interplay with stans sax and oscars piano.

gustav holst- jupiter from the planets, for the way the song builds throughout and be able to place instruments in the soundstage

brubeck/rushing- evening, you have jimmy rushings powerful vocal against the intricate backup of the great quartet.
