Same CD/Album or Music ,In cable comparison,


What dose the Audiogon community think. I have read alot of cable comparisons on Audiogon and other sites , all or most all end up saying (an should) that its your ear and your system. So I was thinking ,if at least the music was the same on all comparisons , we would have a constant to talk about. Say 3 CD/Album , 1 Rock , 1 Jazz and 1 Classical and 5 or so other songs. Well if this idea has come up before , sorry I missed the thread or if this is just not a good idea.

Thanks Russ

not a bad idea at all,im sure everyone has a few fav. pieces of music they use to evaluate systems with,,,i enjoy when somebody uses a recording im familier with to describe what they are hearing,,
OK , how do we create one list , what reference categories should we have? You can always use your reference disk for youself and the Audiogon list for forum. I think we have people takling about the list anyway. Raytheprinter yes I know what you mean , you can almost see and hear what someone is saying about the disk.

Thanks
Jea48 , you know I do not have any of your disks (I will add one of each , whitch ones?) , but who will have the final say (Audiogon vote?), I know I am not the one , what names here do most of the compares , how do we get them engaged? I only read the forum (until now), my system is nothing compared to most everybodies here , but I like to hear what Audiogon has to say and I like to dream.

Thanks
Just saw this thread for the first time. I'll whole heartedly agree with Newbe. The Opus 3 Test Record 1 is an absolute must have for system set up. The music is good too...I grew to apprciate it much. I have the vinyl of the recording. I've only heard the CD version once and by comparison, it seemed flat. Unfortunatelty, I don't see the collection available anymore from Opus 3. Find it used!

Other music that is enjoyable and useful for evaluating your system is:

MA Recordings

MA Recording

MA Recordings

Chesky

Chesky

Chesky

Cantus Recordings

Sony Classical

Alia Vox

Hamonia Mundi

GRP

These are a few(!) that come to mind.

Enjoy and Cheers!
