spursmaddave Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 To test clrity I find Broken Stones by Paul Weller is pretty good, also Live Forever by Oasis is a favourite. I have just set up my system at home after moving and spent a good couple of hours on the sofa 'road testing it' As doogyrev will testify I have a few tracks on my HD but I always come back to the old favourites.... The above 2 plus.... Heaven - Talking Heads (Acoustic & Bass Guitar) from Stop making Sense Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd Stairway To Heaven - Led Zep I Am The Ressurection - Stone Roses Girlfriend In A Come - The Smiths Moments In Love - The Art Of Noise That's All - Genesis All depends what you want to test though really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattbowey Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 cheers for the input guys. i know its all what you are into but i have such a broad taste in music, i listen to pretty much anything and like all sorts for different reasons. just thought i would ask for others opinions so i can have a listen and see what i think will best test the set up even if they arent my favourite songs thanks again matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Any original Michael Jackson song. They have some of the highest production values of any music ever made, and stuff like the Thriller album will prove a real test of any audio equipment. Pretty much all modern music is simply too compressed to give a realistic tone quality. Try some of Sting's stuff as well: Fields Of Gold has some seriously complex layering which will only come out with a decent setup. Make sure you do it either from the CD direct or from a lossless source too (so that rules out anything downloaded from iTunes or similar).
