What is your "evaluation cd"?


I know every time I change a cable or componet, I have a "particular" cd that I play to evaluate the change. It may not be the best sounding cd I own, but it has some merit that I want to hear reflected in EVERY cd I play. What are yours??

I've been meaning to do what Ejlif has done, that is to burn a "compilation test disc" of my own. This disc may not even contain entire songs as there are small portions of songs that can tell you a WHOLE bunch of info very quickly. Using this approach, one could literally pick and choose "snippets" and compose one helluva disc that could assess an entire system in less than just a few minutes.

Obviously, this is another one of those "projects" on my things to do list... Sean

If a high-end stereo can't be enjoyable on the "fun" music you like too, then what's the point? A stereo that sounds great only a handful of anal-retentive audiophile discs is a big bore. IMO of course...
Counting Crows Story tellers live...
or some various Dave Matthews tracks....David Grey..
Followed by some Godsmack to test the bottom end...
and annoy the neighbors...
...no particular one. Every time it changes since there is always a new music comming. The very last point of my interest is 30hzrecords CDs that is a studio of Jah Wobble.
