...take 1 CD LP or 1 digital music recording to test a new audiophile friend's system...

why only 1 - that is silly

so much more learned with a handful to test various aspects

Pink Floyd - (The)Dark Side of the Moon.
Happy Listening!

I am trying to expand my diversity and appreciation of well-recorded music; I feel this limitation can get me the Best of the Best from other audiophiles by its limitation to a complete recording and it not being a single song question. We all tend to think in a group of the best singles, not the best overall recording success...

Sorry if I offered in asking this, but other "Best" inquiries I've seen fail with the same tunes over and over...

Given my parameters - jjss49: can you / do you add a recommendation?

"  I am trying to expand my diversity and appreciation of well-recorded music; I feel this limitation can get me the Best of the Best from other audiophiles "

what album, what singer, what song, blah, blah, to test a system, to listen to on a island, with green eggs and ham , has been covered hundreds of times..

if you want suggestions of music, then visit the old threads, this is why there is a SEARCH option and make a list of what others have mentioned in their replies.
