Interesting choices listed above. Love the music selection but not many I would use for evaluating audio equipment. I generally look for live recordings, and trio jazz music or music with sax, piano and stand up bass. No electronic music or rock & roll as the recordings are usually compressed. I use piano recordings so that I can evaluate the weight of the notes, the decay, and how much wood on the piano I can hear. Sax I want to hear if I can hear the reed vibrating, and the tone, vocals hear the air coming out of the mouth and stand up bass the wood and definition. Once I hear all that, then I cam confident that Stevie Ray and Duane and Dickey will also sound good.
Happy Listening.
