What Are Your Reference Discs? or Specific Reference Tracks

I could make a large list here, I own several MFSL’s, I even got a one step Blood Sweat and tears.

Rather than that I will mention just a couple recently acquired that I’ve been impressed with.

Elton John: Honkey Cat 180gm remaster.

Vanessa Fernandez: Right On For The Darkness on Groove Note mastered and cut by Bernie Grundman.

@emfro Breakfast in America sounds fantastic on my system.
The period pressing and the 33rpm MFSL.

Correction in my above post.
The Elton John album is called Honkey Chateau.

Let me suggest a fun track track to demo for people, its a 4 part acapella harmony by "The Fairfield Four" doing These Bones on the album "I Couldn’t Hear Nobody Pray" (it’s on Qobuz ect.)

Turn it up before it starts and watch the look on people’s face when the bass singer starts it off.

When the others join in you would swear they are in the room.

If you want a track to "test " your system let me suggest

Jazz Variants by O-zone Percussion Group off the album La Bamba
(also on Qobuz)

I highly recommend this track, especially for Tekton owners... hint hint.

Check them out, let us know what you think

Hahaha.... Ah Chuck.

I'm of the same belief as you when it comes to the vinyl/digital debate.
But hey you gotta discover new music in order to know what vinyl to go and buy. Qobuz is my method.

But if you have the means (to stream digital from a service), I suggest you give that percussion track a go.

I love the way my Tekton D.I's handle drums ( strings and horns too )

Billy Cobhams Spectrum comes to mind as well.

Cheers

You must be eyeing that $250 Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. 😆

Super Hot or White Hot which is preffered?

If nothing else it's an interesting sight. Glad I checked it out, especially that Walker enzyme cleaner. That might be worth a try.
