The Analog Grownup Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 What is the record or cd you always have with you when you need to try new speakers? I'm planning on upgrading mine so I want some suggestions to music that will be good to test them on. I normally use Peter Gabriel's Secret World Live and listen to Digging In The Dirt.

Narps Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I truthfully don't have any "reference" music. I haven't bought anything new to listen to music on since at least the Reagan years..... :codger: Anything late 70's seems an awesome choice to me..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost In Xanadu Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Honestly - I love the complete sound of Sting's Soul Cages album. Top to bottom it fills the house. Also, I love Solsbury Hill's use of the stereo effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greyfriar Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Moving Pictures - MFSL version :finbar: I have the Permanent Waves edition on vinyl.I have that one too. Great recording. :cheers:As for reference, the MP MFSL worked fine for me over the years. I've checked my speakers always with MP and with DSotM, as Mick said. The late 70's is also a hot advice, even if it's too much of a time span to find one special record. I can only speak for myself and I use the Japanese edition of Grand Funk's same-titled album or MFSL like MP or DSotM.Nearly forgot to mention the great Steve Hoffman remasters. Check them out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
