Your favourite Hi Fi system demo tracks

Posted by: Southweststokie on 12 February 2012

Just been playing a few tracks after installing my new Telurium Q black speaker cables. It made me wonder what tracks people use to check out the next upgrade. it is down to the quality of the recording, obviously. I find that Chilli Peppers, Californication and Soul to squeeze really hit the spot together with Coldplay's Trouble and Yellow. Also a real favourite is Steve Winwood's 'The morning side' from his 'Roll with it' album.

 

Before people comment, sadly I am not a classical, jazz or opera fan but more of a rock, pop lover. Any recommendation's that I'm not aware of that I ought to try?

 

 

Regards,
