Establishing a common analog listening bias

Maybe it is possible to establish a widely accepted common ground in terms of listening bias by choosing and agreeing on 10-30 LPs all readily available new to all audiophiles for decent price.
If all listening tests and personal comments regarding the sound of components and systems in the various threads and posts would refer to any of these LPs mainly, everyones comments and experiences would much easier be understood by their fellow Audiogoners.

How about an "Audiogon baker's double-dozen"?

This would create a solid ground for all of us.

How do you think about this ?

thanks for the "Time Out" vote. Good to know it's available still/again on vinyl --- any source you'd like to mention?

As to: >>>ambient and individual details in a fairly quite audience are about the utmost low level <<<

Oh, YES, yes!
But excuse me, applause is not: "... about the utmost low level" and that is what Halcro, and I consecutively where on about.
The APPLAUSE is, well... 'lacking' in comparison to the rest, and becomes somehow a little annoying...
It sounds like some patched in 'canned' piece of sound track, to call a spade a spade.

Dear Raul, you are so right - thats why you hardly ever write a full sentence about any of my remarks .......
What a p(i)e(a)ce of mind.....
Regarding your "Ferrari" - you should consider having a driver training soon.
Cheers,

OK, what about some POP 'side-kick(s)'

Peter Gabriel "SO" (detailed but may be a bit hot mastered?)
Paul Simon "Graceland" (explosive percussions, voices, the lot)

Dear Axel, I love "Graceland"!!
Haven't listened to "So" for more than 15 years.
Graceland does indeed have an excellent wide range of very different tracks and Ladysmith Black Mazambo's two pieces do add extra spice and most impressive a capella.
A landmark record.
Cheers,
D.
