Only two tracks to test your system, forever!


If you could only use two tracks/songs for the rest of your life whenever you wanted to test a change to your system, what would they be?

Joe Henderson-“Isfahan”, from the cd “Lush Life”

Diane Schuur- any song from the cd “Blues for Schuur” esp. “These Blues”.

James Taylor - Carolina - Later Version from Greatest Hits

Led Zeppelin - Lemon Song

What an interesting, thought provoking question. With live music as the standard for me, here are my two:

Lyn Stanley - Pink Cadillac and Route 66 on 15ips RtR tape (London With A Twist, Live At Bernie’s). Stupidly expensive, but, SQ second to none IMHO.

Eric Clapton - Unplugged on MFSL Ultradisc One-Step, especially the Before You Accuse Me track. OK, there is some controversy about using a DSD file to make the lacquers. But, who cares when SQ is this good, outstanding.

I intend to work my way through the list of suggested tracks, thanks gladmo.
