A couple of members have sets of burned CDs they use for auditioning equipment (or simply enjoying a good mix of music on a snowy afternoon). I'd like to assemble a couple CDs worth of totally high quality (and highly musical) recordings for the group to use as a sort of "Reference" disk set.
Anybody have suggestions of specific individual tracks that we should use? It would be nice (though not mandatory) if folks could say HOW they use the cut to audition systems. For example, Holly Cole's "Temptation" often appears on such disks as a way to gauge a system's bass performance.
I'll give a couple of boring examples to start:
Jennifer Warnes "The Panther" from The Well - small details (microdynamics), stereo speaker performance, female vocals
Tsuyoshi Yamamoto Trio "Midnight Sugar" from Midnight Sugar
how a piano sounds!
We'd probably need about 30 tunes. The tunes could be from vinyl as well since I have the capability to record vinyl to CD.
