Albert is absolutely right(not to say his list is the list to use, no offense Albert) on the idea of using music you have been listening to recentely. It is what you have most recently heard and therefore is the best/most recent reference you have and nothing is better then that. Best of luck, :-)Tim
Music to test systems
If you were going over to someone’s house to evaluate their system and you only knew it was a high end system, what 5 LPs (if you are into vinyl) and 5 CDs would you take and for what purposes (test bass, imaging, soundstage, etc.). I have thought about this a bit and have not yet narrowed down either to just 5. I will post my answer once this thread gets going.
