I might suggest a slightly different approach to this question. It's easy to list great sounding music. The problem being those picks tend to make most every system sound good. I would suggest using music that has always seemed flat (for want of a better term) on one system and ask does the next system improve the sound? Would that not better show the difference? Just a thought.
Top 3 songs to evaluate a system
Hi everyone,
So here is the question: what are your Top 3 music pieces to evaluate a system?
The songs should be complementary to cover a wider range of features, but not necessary. If you only listen to one type of music, it would make sense to only evaluate with this type.
Bonus: identify one good part of the piece where you pay extra attention because this is where the difference between systems is more visible.
I'll start:
Holly Cole Trio - Girl Talk - My Baby Just Cares For Me
Highlight: The vibrating cord at 1:59
MaMuse - All The Way - Glorious
Highlight - The clean guitar and the high drum beat that rythm the whole piece
Metallica - ... And Justice for All (Remastered) - One
Highlight - The first drums at 0:53, but the whole guitar as well
Doing this myself, I realize it's very hard to only pick 3!!
