...take 1 CD LP or 1 digital music recording to test a new audiophile friend's system...


If you are constricted by being able to take only 1 CD or 1LP or 1 digital music recording to test/listen to a new audiophile friend's system - what do you take?

My choice: FLY by The Dixie Chicks:
lots of intensity, great vocals, good instrument diversity, big soundstage; decent PRaT

Your choice?

I am trying to expand my diversity and appreciation of well-recorded music; I feel this limitation can get me the Best of the Best from other audiophiles by its limitation to a complete recording and it not being a single song question. We all tend to think in a group of the best singles, not the best overall recording success...

Sorry if I offered in asking this, but other "Best" inquiries I've seen fail with the same tunes over and over...

Given my parameters - jjss49: can you / do you add a recommendation?

what album, what singer, what song, blah, blah, to test a system, to listen to on a island, with green eggs and ham , has been covered hundreds of times..

if you want suggestions of music, then visit the old threads, this is why there is a SEARCH option and make a list of what others have mentioned in their replies.




Tonian Trio II Moon Jazz ...this is Brad Dutz, John Fumo and Randy Landas. Recorded, mixed and mastered by Tony Minasian... this is a stunning recording by a top top and rather different approach engineer, showing off what Red Book can really do ...so if its truly only 1 CD for me its this one ..
