Best tracks to "show off" your system

Stumpie, you should hear Jack Johnson's Brushfire Fairytales on vinyl... Sounds even better...

For me, a couple of choices are: Louis Armstrong- St. James Infirmary on vinyl and Gary Karr-Adagio di Albinoni on Cisco 24k CD. This last one is duet of double bass virtuoso accompanied by pipe organ. Amazing sound! Cheers,
Spencer

To add some classical selections:

1. Holst's "The Planets"(eg Mars,Jupiter,Uranus)
Philharmonia Orchestra
John Eliot Gardiner
DG 445-860-2 (1995)

2. Almost anything sung by Jessye Norman
See eg "Brava Jessye! The very best of Jessye Norman"
Philips 454-693-2 (1971-1993)

3. For pure fun: 1958 Mercury Living Presence Version of
Tchaikovsky's "1812 Overture"
(remastered for CD 1995)

conducted by Antal Dorati,
played by:

Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra
University of Minnesota Brass Band
Bronze Cannon(French,1775)of US Military Acadamy Westpoint
Bells (over 100tons!) of the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial Carillon at Riverside Church

Mercury 434-360-2

A couple of fun ones: Dafos (Mickey Hart) and Mondo Head (Kodo). Both are audiophile drumming albums, both are superbly recorded.

Sbank , How does Jack Johnson's Brushfire Fairytales sound on Cd ? Unfortunately I do not have a turntable.

Sdcampbell - Thanks. I'll have to look for it.
