Should only be the one's that are the top five in your collection. This way, you will know what differences are being produced. One of my favorites is the sound track of the motion picture 'The Mission'. I also have the DVD and I use that too. The range of the music on the latter disc's is unbelievable.
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...
