Songs you use when auditioning gear

I agree! Sometimes I just spin up the CD just for the various tunes. They’re all quite listenable (IMHO).

I'm currently testing my new Clayton Shaw Caladans, and these are the first dics I played

Poi Dog Pondering “Wishing Like a Mountain and Thinking Like a Sea” & “Pomegranate” – Eagles “One of These Nights” – Nirvana “MTV Unplugged” – Chris Isaak “Heart Shaped World” – Gorillaz “Demon Days” – Talking Heads “Stop Making Sense Remastered” – Chris Stapleton “Traveler” – 10,000 Maniacs “MTV Unplugged” – Johnny Cash American IV - Supertramp “Crime of the Century”

Useful trial for a stereo setup’s ability to manage complex percussion:

”The Echo Game” - House of Flying Daggers (2004 OST)

If the link doesn’t work, a direct search on YouTube will. Select the track with album art, not the actual scene from the film.

I have been using this playlist lately.   Has a variety of music, vocals, bass, separation, and imaging.

I just listened to Welcome To The World by Ben Harper and there’s a couple of cuts on the album that are going on my list.
