What music do you use to assess your system?


I'm looking for music that will reveal shortcomings or strengths within ones system. Lets list some of our favorite songs that have: good, fluctuating bass lines, songs that have a solid, centerd vocal, songs that are super complex with alot going on, songs that test tone, songs that test inner and micro detail, songs that test how well a speaker can convey dynamic swing, and any other aspects I didn't mention.

Of course I'm not looking for one song that covers all areas, I'm fine with one song only covering one aspect.

When listing songs, please include what we are looking for in that particular song!

Did not mean to offend you, I too like the album as I mentioned in my post. When I saw the post I thought that album has not been around for that long, I got my copy in the early 90's, so I googled it.

How do you like the latest , I think, Paul Simon Album "So beautiful or so what " (2011) :-)

Good Listening

No offense taken!

I've not listened to Paul Simon's most recent recording-
Jacintha - A Tribute to Ben Webster

Doug Macleod - There's a Time

Illinois Jacquet - A Shadow of your Smile

Ray Brown Trio - Soular Energy
Needfreestuff,

+1 to all of those, I truly enjoy the copy of Doug Mcleoud's album you gave me. Thank you so much !

Good Listening

Here's another title which I've used to assess gear- Donald Fagen- The Nightfly.
