Tracy Chapman "Tracy Chapman". One of the first CDs I bought and I know it SO WELL. I use track 4 (solo voice only dead center) to compare even the slightest changes such as interconnects etc. Good range and dynamics but not "audiophile".

The key is to have full range minimal processing good dynamics music THAT YOU KNOW VERY WELL AND HAVE LISTENED TO FOR EVER!

Cheers
Audiowoman, good low end bass too. I just added a REL sub to my monitors and after @ a year away from full range forgot that the Tracy Chapman CD has decent low's as well!
