REAL MUSIC VS. SHOW MUSIC PERFORMANCE AT AUDIO SHOWS. PRESENTATION V. PERFORMANCE? WHY?


One of the things that I have noticed is the kind of music being played to show system performance.  Full disclosure I’m with Infigo Audio. But as an audiophile I think it is important to hear your music in these systems.  Which means non hi rez stuff.  Stuff you would listen to in your system at home. I try to play everything at shows to show our performance.  Some systems to me are all presentation not as much performance. I play funk rock pop classical jazz folk R&B as well as test track to show what a system can do across a genres.  I think it is important to show that a system can perform on all materials. Some systems look good in presentation and sound great on hi rez and test tracks but are not musical involving and may not actually perform well across genres. Thoughts ?

96 and 192 material is hi rez. Or Dsd recordings as well.  I’m constantly doing shows with Infigo.  So the reason I asked. 

What if you played a diverse batch of songs, each in the 96/192/DSD range, and also sprinkled in a batch of stylistically divergent songs below said rate? The latter could be done with a preface of, “those were hi rez tracks, this one is only (blank)”

I would expect a manufacturer to play whatever music makes their system sound the best.  Anything else would be foolish on their part.  IMHO.  

I have heard some of the poorest choice of music at shows ,as well as improper setup.

a great example lately, Audio Group Denmark all great products and sound very good

but I have watched many show videos and dull boring music, one-of the worst selections I have encountered lately.noted by many. I actually am planning to purchase from them . at several audio get togethers great choice of music great sound.From Borresen and company.
