The quick reference list is -
Steve earle guitar town,
Frank Sinatra swing easy,
Van Halen I,
Frank Zappa Apostrophe.
If I really want to listen to my stereo I throw on the old cathedral organ Bach fugues record I have.
I pick these because I am very familiar with them, they represent my taste, and because they are all recorded very well. The organ music really lets you hear if your equipment is smearing the details because it so full (no space between sounds). But as it's been said, you really need to listen for a awhile (weeks), as you normally listen, to eval anything.
