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!!

Well I’ll join the fray and because I can’t count to 3 😜

1) Tin Pan Alley - Stevie Ray Vaughan (personally I think it’s my reference)
2) Sia & David Guetta- Flames 2:25Ish to the end but really the entire last half of the song
3) Allison Kraus - It doesn’t Matter
4) Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa - I’d rather go blind
5) Hauser - Caruso
6) Darkside - Paper Trails

Using a combination of these I can usually tell if my system is dialed in.
