What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes?


I have several that I use but Mannheim Steamroller is nearly always in the mix. Does anyone else still listen to them or is it just me?

The new Steely Dan LP reissues are excellent.  They just came out with Katy Lied.    Aja was so well produced back in the day too.  Great test of vocals and instruments on your system.  

I didn’t see Steely Dan in concert until they made a comeback with their last couple of albums.  They sounded excellent because they had top players that could reproduce the album cuts.  That’s supposedly what stopped them from touring in the 70s after they stop being a band and were 2 guys with session musicians.  I love their music.  Great songs with top musicians well recorded.  That’s what it’s all about.
