What tracks really make your system shine?


While Patricia Barber is excellent on my system, the tracks that really make my system shine are tracks 1-5 on the Book of Roses CD from Andreas Vollenweider. How about yours?

The ones that require power and majesty that you need to feel as well as hear to appreciate.

ALso tracks that would result in ear bleed in most cases otherwise.

It does quite well with the rest as well.
A few years back an agoner sent me a copy of Metallica death magnetic as a test. This is a highly compressed and processed recording meant to be played loud. It sounds clean crisp and powerful with no ear bleed on my setup off the big ohms. The ohms are the best at just letting the music play imho in the right setup and with the right amplification. The bel canto class d amps I use are amazing with the ohms in particular.

Metallicas s&m is a very good recording that combines metal and symphony orchestra live. You gotta hear it on my big ohms to believe it.
I have essential dean Martin cd. I like dean and the sound quality of his old recordings happens to be quite good as are many full analog recordings from those days.
