CD's you bring for auditioning

Do you also have some CD's which you use to audition equipment and which will reveal immediately shortcomings, eg I use

Buddy Guy - Sweet Tea (first couple of tracks can be unbelievable hard to listen to on some equipment

Pink Floyd - DSOTM, checkout the bass, the clocks can sound 'washed' up on some over-tubed systems

Pink Floyd - The Wall , played at loud volume will immediately reveal shortcomings on loudspeakers

and yours...

I always use something from Greg Brown. Great for checking out midbass richness. His voice shouild sound appropriately gravelly and powerful.
I don't like to use my favorite recordings because with repeated listening, the joy of listening to them for fun can wear off. I like to use recordings that I like enough to listen to over and over, but not ones that I really enjoy listening to when not auditioning equipment.
