I have one song on CD that I play each time I change out a piece of equipment. It is Sarah Brightman singing Scarborough Fair. Anybody else use a referrence song to check for improvements, changes, etc? This is a newbie question.
A CD that's really useful is Holly Cole's "Temptation." I will do a great job of testing how your system handles female vocals, piano, bass (acoustic) and silence.
When I was auditioning new speakers a few years ago every shop I went into played Jennifer Warnes "Somewhere, somebody" from her "Hunter" CD so I've kept using it for that purpose. It also works well to convince your friends they should upgrade their own systems.
