Default recordings for listening tests when purchasing system

My recommendation would be to tell the salesman to get stuffed, it's
your music you want to enjoy on the system and you'll listen to, and try
out both.


Amen. When I audition equipment, particularly speakers, I burn a CD
with representative tracks of all of the different types of music I
listen to. And the very first track is a transfer of an acoustic 78
(Melchior singing "Inbrunst in Herzen"). If a speaker can't reproduce
that to my satisfaction, the audition is over.
