I evaluate changes to my system with music I enjoy the most, after all it's those CDs I'm trying to heighten the musical experience of. Having an "Evaluation CD" I believe can lead you in the wrong direction, especially if that CD is just for that purpose.
I listen to mostly acoustic guitar, drums, piano and female vocals. Primarily Jazz, Flamenco, Bossa Nova, but most anything else. Artists like Steve Denny, Tom Maxwell, Robby Longley, Jacintha, Diana Krall, Tom Jobim to name a few.
A few years ago I told the guitarist Robby Longley I took his CDs with me when I was considering buying new equipment. He was quite flattered by that.
