yes! there are two tracks i love to play at the speaker store / audiophile's house:
Korn's "Freak on a Leash", to test the low end
Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song", to watch the implementer's reaction to source hiss
imo "Stairway to Heaven" is one of the dirtiest recordings of all time w.r.t. airtime; maybe that 'noise' is what actually made it so successful...?
- dharmab 3y agoBillie Eilish's No Time To Die revealed a whole bunch of issues with my theater room rattling :) I figure as long as I haven't sorted those out, the Monoprice Monolith speakers I'm using are totally fine
- imp0cat 3y agoYeah, some of Billie's tracks are eye(ear?)-opening.
- mtreis86 3y agoI like so use Aja by Steely Dan, the album is just so precise and delicate
- mr_toad 3y ago> yes! there are two tracks i love to play at the speaker store / audiophile's house A normal person uses their sound system to listen to music. An audiophile uses music to listen to their sound system.
- sjamaan 3y agoIt makes sense to listen to the sound system when making a buying decision though!
- wiredfool 3y agoDazed and Confused has the bass playing a descending scale, 8 notes. If you turn off the mains, it's useful to tell how well the subwoofer works. For vocals -- Paul Simon's Graceland or Cowboy Junkies Trinity Sessions.
- chrisdhoover 3y agoI worked at the hi fi shop in the late 70s. Aja was the best sounding demo record. The Cars record sound like trash. We had speakers with 5 plus drivers. Playing a Beatles record, McCartney’s voice was emanating from a single driver. It was not great imagining Paul inhabiting the speaker cabinet.
