"I will be getting my kit in a couple of days, and I naturally started thinking about what I wanted to play. Of course, it is not just about the turntable, but the amps, speakers, cartage etc. but just in terms of music: what do you use to test your new kit out?"
It's just like a CD player. You can play anything you want. But before you do any serious listening, you need to let the cartridge break in. Sometimes they sound so bad, you may think something is broken. Somewhere between 50-100 hours will do it for most carts. Just make sure to keep track of how much break in time you put on it. Its easy to lose track.
