Tracks to test tweeter performance
Doing a head to head with a pair of Focal 926 vs Quad Z-4. Wanted a couple suggestions on some tracks to compare the ribbonistas against the cone zone. Got and favorite track you use to ensure the tweets stack up to your expectations?
The arte del violine by Locatelli 3 cd... Perfect to test any high frequencies... And if you can the Four seasons by Vivaldi on Tacet... here it is tube only TOP audiophile recording of violin...Stunning... If your tweeter is good you will enter heaven... Violin high notes are ideal test...Vibraphone and cymbals texture and decay in second for me...

1st, use CD's, something might be 'less than perfect' about your cartridge's many alignments. Then, compare your LP version to your CD version, gives you confidence, or helps you know re-adjustment(s) are needed.
Eurythmics, Sweet Dreams Blue Nile, Walk Across the Rooftops Duet: Barbra Streisand and Donna Summer: Enough is Enough, No More Tears Andreas Vollenweider, White Winds |
