papyneau The tribute album to Jimi Hendrix called Stone Free. Fabulous musicians from Clapton to Seal & Jeff Beck. Violinist Nigel Kennedy does an outstanding rendition of Fire. The Cure does a take on Purple Haze that I actually prefer to the original. Yet for all this talent, the recording lacks any real depth in the sound. I would love to hear the system that brings this LP to life.
Top 3 songs to evaluate a system
Hi everyone,
So here is the question: what are your Top 3 music pieces to evaluate a system?
The songs should be complementary to cover a wider range of features, but not necessary. If you only listen to one type of music, it would make sense to only evaluate with this type.
Bonus: identify one good part of the piece where you pay extra attention because this is where the difference between systems is more visible.
I'll start:
Holly Cole Trio - Girl Talk - My Baby Just Cares For Me
Highlight: The vibrating cord at 1:59
MaMuse - All The Way - Glorious
Highlight - The clean guitar and the high drum beat that rythm the whole piece
Metallica - ... And Justice for All (Remastered) - One
Highlight - The first drums at 0:53, but the whole guitar as well
Doing this myself, I realize it's very hard to only pick 3!!
