Pbb: I have "Stimela" by Hugh Masekela as recorded on the Burmester Demo Disc 3. It is a live version and sounds kick ass. Even though it is not a type of music that i would normally go out of my way to listen to, the recording and presentation on this disc is so good that it encouraged me to go see Mr Masekella when he came through Chicago several months ago. It was a very enjoyable evening and a new experience for me. As a side note, the entire Burmester disc is very good and i can see how they chose the selections that they did to demo their systems with.
Other than that, i typically have a small selection of discs that i bring with when checking things out. They range from instrumental "new age" and "chamber" music to phenomenally punishing "death metal" with pounding double bass drums. Needless to say, some of the selections that i choose have stunned sales people, but i don't care. I listen to a very wide variety of music, so i want to know up front if a component is up to the task or not. Like Albert said, it's not about putting your "toys" up for display, it's about using and enjoying them. Sean
