If you want to show off your sound system: Phantom of the Opera CD



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Funny, “Oh Yeah” had popped in my head while reading the previous posts. If that’s nice and clean, low end is handled.

Factoid: That track wasn't part of the original album's release. It was added, after the fact and displacing another track, on the album's U.S. release when Oh Yeah took off after Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

For a low-end-handling test it's really hard to beat Enya's Watermark Wink

For clean sound that can really make a sound system shine: Fleetwood Mac's second eponymous album, Fleetwood Mac, aka: "The White Album" (World Turning is a good low-end test), Chicago's Chicago VI (midrange, particularly good for revealing brassiness), Boston's eponymous album, their first, Boston (mostly a good midrange and high-end test--Boston should never sound "screechy," but it will on a system with poor high-end).

nice thread.

I had about 20 of these songs already on my phone, so I've made a playlist of them to play when in different cars or when testing systems and such. Some are good quality files, others I'm not sure about, but it should still be fun. Makes for an interesting mixture in a playlist...

gracias

Just play your favorites.
Getting in my truck with some good tunes is a joy of mine too.

I was thinking the same thing. Then I realized that Jeremy is only a few years younger than I am. What made me feel old, is that I let myself. I used to always say “age is just a number”. I need to remind myself that there are guys like V-Tail who are almost twice my age and probably more active than I am.

Oh, to be of the age I can do things without the aches and pains…



As far as music, Beachcoma and Finished Symphony by Hybrid. They’re a Welch electronic group that worked with the Russian Federal Orchestra and made some cool music.

Descending by Tool

If you can stream from your phone, play this. It’s got some good highs and lows. It’s also an incredible piece of music. https://youtu.be/GBaHPND2QJg

"Badge" live from Eric Clapton, 24 Nights. Listen to the transition at 1:44, turn it up, and see if the system replicates the tonality and then hard hit of the drum entry. Very good test of a system. Can it go from quiet harmonics to a solid crash transition without clipping.
