Ok, you all know the situation. You just bought a new turntable, amp, speakers or you changed something about your listening envirnment and you have to run a sound check to test it or play with it.
What music do you use?
Since I was a kid and bought my first stereo in 1978 or 1979, it was always Steely Dan's Aja album. I know, no real shocker there. Most people from my generation (I am 58) either use that or used to use that. Over time, I found I also liked the sound of Jeff Beck's Blow by Blow, but in reality it was just the song "Cause We Ended As Lovers". Now, I have a new one to add to the list.
Well, not new exactly. Linda Rondstat's Living In The U.S.A.. Just One Look, Black Roses White Rhythm And Blues and Mohammads Radio. Great engineering on that record. Then I will throw on some modern semi-metal to make sure that works too. Recently got "Blood" by In This Moment on vinyl and that seems to work pretty well.
So, what do you use? Lemme hear it
