I bet alot of you are like me....when checking out a new system you have a fav. disc you like to chuck in the HU to hear the SQ of the system. Believe it or not, for me. It is Dream Theater's Awake CD. It is prog. rock, but to this day I still think it is one of the best mixed CDs. Not in your face bass like some of todays rock, but solid not the less. What are your fav. discs for checking out systems?

 

Bob Marley Legends and Eagles Hell Freezes Over

 

Jesse Cook - Free Fall
Primus - Pork Soda
Tom Waits - Rain Dogs

I use those three always for all equipment that I review. I know thoses discs inside and out.

 

I like "The Lost Boys" Soundtrack in my car...but its by no means a full out SQ car..

But great disc..

 

I use mixed cds or Default & Seether

 

Eagles Hell freezes over.
Craig David "born to do it" (still one of the best mixed cds I have ever heard)
