@bigtwin thanks for the suggestion I will take a listen.
Songs you use when auditioning gear
What are some of your favorite songs to play when auditioning gear? I often listen to Dreams by Fleetwood Mac. Just about anything off of Gaucho or Aja by Steely Dan or Joni Mitchell’s Hejira or Hissing of Summer Lawns usually gets spun up too. Dreams, in particular, is such a great song and is recorded with the balance I really like as well as a full and wide soundstage. Wondering what some of yours are to see what I’m missing.

@nitrobob The Cars and Supertramp are definitely worthy. |
@kraftwerkturbo definitely Flight of the Cosmic Hippo! Dire Straits and Driver’s Seat are excellent as well. |
Rage Against the Machine's cover of Renegades of Funk. Speakers are challenged by the high pitched whine. Subterranean Homesick Alien by Radiohead. Good for checking image depth, air and space. I try not to avoid the audiophile tracks that always sound good and are the equivalent of turning brightness up on a TV in the showroom. |
@jji666 RATM Renegades of Funk reminds me that Metallica Sad But True is a great song to test bass control, the bass guitar in that song can cause all kinds of problems if the amp and speakers can’t handle it. |
