subaruguru - I also think Graceland makes a great demo disk (cool music as well). I like it some much that I keep buying spare copies on vinyl when I see it at Half Price books. My personal demo disc is the Neri Per Caso (an Italian group) X-mas CD. The a cappella version of God Rest Ye Merry... and Happy Day let my system strut its stuff in the areas of midrange purity and soundstaging. Belafonte at Carnegie Hall ain't too shabby either
