Best LPs to Test Turntables

Thank You Frogman.  The Koln Concerts is always one of my Go To recordings. Second is a box set of Miles' Prestige years with Coltrane

Before you will play any music it's important to check the system with TEST RECORDS if you want to make sure about channel balance, polarity, phase and proper cartridge setup. You can even measure tonearm + cartridge resonance with Hi Fi test LP (free protractor included). Another great LP is Cardas with its unique feature to ultrasonically clean the stylus. What you can do with these 2 LPs you can't do with the music. 

I would go with Stevie Ray Vaughn’s Tin Pan Alley. I’m just starting my own speaker company and this is the track with so much impact that I use this to demo my speaker line.
