What recordings do you use to test new gear?


Would be interested to know what recordings
people use to set standards for purchasing new
equipment.

I take Fiona Apple "Tidal". Make sure the system is fully warmed up. Play #3-Shadowboxer & #4-Criminal. You'll find out if the system is dynamic on these two songs..
Then play #5-Slow Like Honey. Close your eyes. If the systems is right, you'll hear an excellent recording of a female vocalist with what I consider an excellent voice. Don't try to do this with non-believers in the room! Banish them & turn out the lights if possible. This is not backround music! Be patient & repeat if needed..
