Audiophile Best Test Songs???


Recommended Posts

Genre may not be what others like but hard to beat this album as good reference material....  One of my favorites, even better in concert!

 

Hope someone gives it a try and enjoys...

 

And thanks to others posts, some new good ones for me!

Lorena McKennitt - "The Mummers' Dance", voice, drums, should be able to hear differences in head material.

 

Lyle Lovett - "She's Already Made Up Her Mind", voice, acoustic instruments, bass guitar, arrangement.

 

Natalie Cole - duet of "Unforgettable" with her father, voice, voice, voice.

A bit uncanny to see a reference to King Crimson.  

I suggest "The Court of the Crimson King" by King Crimson, on vinyl.  

I have it on the original 50 year old LP, and on a later issued CD.  

I submit the LP because I'm a luddite.  

Yes it's prog-rock.  Yes it's heavily electrified.  

But yes, it has great stereo separation, great vocals, and great orchestration.  

And it will work your system to the max for clarity, effects, and harmony.  

And it's a great listen with your favorite relaxation  libation or technique.

Tricycle is a fantastic disc. First track is awesome.

Most Norah Jones.
Joss Stone soul sessions
Dire Straits fade to black
Chroma Key dead air for radios
The Omnific

Thunder and Birdies on Khorns with DBX III dynamic expander give me the best memories. In fact, even without the DBX, the dynamics on the bass and DRUMS are impressive.
