I’m a jazz and classic rock guy. Very few classic rock albums make the testing cut, although Dark Side of the Moon is one of my go-to test albums. Also Hot Tuna Live at the New Orleans House Berkeley. But for real critical listening to test new components, my go-to choices are Patricia Barber - Companion XRCD, and especially the second cut, Use Me, which has a killer stand up bass intro. My other go-to jazz album is the remastered Jazz At The Pawnshop — extremely well-recorded. For interesting live imaging, I also use Shakti’s first album. John McLaughlin and Zair Hussein on tablas is sublime!!!
What is they best album out there for showing off the sound quality of your system.
Looking for the best of the best if you had one what would it be?
