Many people will advise you to evaluate equipment using music that you know and love. Not me. I say choose well-recorded music that you hate. This is because after a couple dozen AB sessions, you're going to hate it anyway, so why spoil something you love?My personal choice is "The Offering" by the Bobby Battle Quartet on Mapleshade. It's mediocre acoustic jazz, but it has lots of low-level information (drummer Battle is a mutterer), is naturally recorded, good soundstage, and features a really well-recorded double bass solo that's excellent for evaluating bass extension and subwoofer integration. It has served me very well over the years when I want a clinical listening tool; not so well when I want to enjoy music.
Happy ABing,
Jim
