Dire Straits - Your Latest Trick
Santana - Written In Sand
Chris Rea - Fool (If you think its over)
I use FM interstation hiss for testing, also spoken word recordings of male and female readers. After all that I switch to Jazz, mostly recently recorded stuff that was either full digital or at least excellent analog recordings.
I use recording by Earth Wind and Fire, George Benson, Jimi Hendrix, The Police, and a wide assortment of Dance and Rock tracks.
The Dire Straits Brothers in Arms is an excellent test album. So is Dark side of the moon. Tracy Chapman's first album has an excellent spoken word track and really good acoustic guitar.
Bunch of good stuff discussed, here: http://audioheritage.csdco.com/vbull...hlight=playing

"Indeed, not!!"
I only listen to "Afternoon Delight" by Starland Vocal Band.
I'm totally sick of all other music.
To be totally blunt, it all sounds rediculously "gay" to me...
Lancer ... you really Really REALLY need to update your record collection.Originally Posted by Lancer

But what about Wham's "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" Shirley, that can't be gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Oh Yeah! Wham!
I was watching "I love the 80's" last night for some reason I still can't fathom and they were waxing on about G.M.'s butt in that "I want your sex" video. Some lady got on and was saying she was like 12 years old when that came out and she was walking around singing "I want your sex". Looking back she seemed appalled.

Play some classical or opera..that is the acid test..okay I am kidding..or am I!
I recall a dealer always saying the L200's sounded okay till he played opera..then the Kef's had the march.
My favourite is a Chesky Jazz sampler Vol 1. jd-37
Part 1 is the music....
1. Tico Tico,
2. Stompin at the Savoy.
3 Viola fora de moda.
4. Club de sol...
5. Charles Christopher
6. Meditation
7. Pennies from heaven
8. Samba de Orfeo..
9..The song is you
Part2 is listening and technical tests
Left right imaging test
LEDR test
Acoustic sound stage
Absolute polarity test
Multiple generation and low level linearity test
and some other stuff
Also Eva Cassidy Live at the Blues Alley..if you cry it means your system is workin good!

I use an album of John Williams and the Boston Pops, doing Big Band, for testing dynamic swing, and balance of my system! Nothing like a really well recorded classical symphony going from very faint triangles to big deep kettle drums, and you know if the mids are right or not when the brass horns kick in!
Stanley Clarke albums for bass articulation. Lopsy Lu is the cut!
Tito Puente- Ran Kan Kan, for musicality, and of course, percussions! Very alive and dynamic recording.
Pink Floyd- Dark Side of the Moon, for spatial imaging.
Oh, and, Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald, Summertime! Satchmos horn will make you feel emotional through a great system, no doubt about it!
