Amir's test tracks - is there a list?

[Woody Stool]

Is there a list somewhere of Amir's audio test tracks? I'm speaking of music tracks and not test signals/tones. Enquiring minds want to know, and thanks.

I have not provided them. They are a trade secret!

 

[Woody Stool]

I think you made reference to a Genesis track in one of your reviews, and I'm very curious which one that might be. Big fan of theirs from back in the day, saw them live quite a few times and their light show never disappointed. Those bass pedals didn't disappoint either.

Here it is:

Interesting. I was thinking you were using either "Dance On a Volcano" or "Squonk" from "Trick of the Tail" as an exercise in bass response.

Hold on my heart from that album is a track I use myself.

 

[Woody Stool]

Hold On My Heart really has a nice laid-back vibe, with some healthy lower octaves. Good choice.

Can you reveal at least one "Killer Bass" track that you use? I am always interested in those. My Ane Brun album is wearing thin.... thanks

Same one @amirm uses for his car audio SPL competitions:

Wowowow. I've never seen that sort of extreme car audio thing before. Those people where in the car with no hearing PPE. I have been in a Camaro show car that was tuned for high fidelity and when cranked one time my vision was going.

Changed my mind. Dont want killer bass no more.

Tell me about it. I am starting to hate all of my reference tracks after listening 100 times to them in testing speakers!

Here are two more:

The deep bass on the second one starts halfway into the track. So don't turn up the volume until you get there!

Note that you can severely damage your speakers with these tracks if volume is too high! So go slow first.

Amazing that they can do that with the door open!

It's a user adjustable bass reflex design- just open more doors or windows.

Here's some insane 6.5" woogers, 20 of them, in a car.

Here we are, listening to audiophile music tracks, thinking how superior we are, and these guys are almost listening to low frequency test tones.

Thanks, Amir.

I don't think I would want to buy that car after they do this to it.

There may be some additional rattles that were not present before...
