What selections do you play when showing off your system to others?


I find that when I'm having someone listen to my system that I usually play the same 4 or 5 selections. I tend to lean towards vocals and acoustic presentations. Mine are as follows:

Hold That Line- Tedeschi Trucks Band

Roadhouse and Automobiles- Chris Jones

The Hunter- Jennifer Warnes

River Blues- Eric Bibb

Flight of the Hippo- Bela Fleck and the Flecktones

It's All in the Game- Merle Haggard

Your Bright Baby Blues- Jackson Browne

What are yours?

I could care less about the tut-tuts I sometimes get. I could care less about the various contests people might goad me into to determine who is the more virtuous hobbyist. In any event, I got to say that, in my current living circumstances the only other person I know of with a genuine, audiophile-oriented sound system is my wife -- whose modest but extremely mellifluous system sits in the living room. Her bedside clock radio has superior sound compared to mine, as well.

Whatever the moment requires, even same people can ask different things from time to time.

My collection has rock, pop, classical, jazz, acid jazz, electronica, ethnic, soul/funk.

New material is always welcomed.

Of course the most impressive tracks do exist but that is not the main point.

sweet female vocals would usually move the air and lift their soul into heights they haven't imagined existed

Bruce Hornsby’s cover of Madman Across the Water live on his Intersections album.  Incredibly well recorded and performed.

Chris Isaac - Heart Shaped World 

Dominique Fils-Aime - Birds

Frederick Fennell, Dallas Winds - Trittico 

Beatles for Sale.    MFSL   'I'm a Loser'.

Lennon is in the room even though he died 42 years ago.

One of the many 'proper' MFSLs that has the best recorded sound ever achieved.
