I hope you enjoy these tracks as much as I have over the years.

My suggestion is to actually listen to these tracks and comment on them individually. I spend hours winnowing my tracks down so things sound just right with my gear. I tried to include more than one genre just in case you don't like classical for example.

Prefer Parklife myself.

Anyone tried my test tracks yet?

Sorry, none of the music appeals to me.
Whilst it is nice to have good sound quality I would rather listen to Bach on my mobile phone than lots of, say Country, music on the finest hifi ever built
I often listen to a mono 1953 recording of Prokofiev's 1st violin concerto, for example, because it is my favourite interpretation of the score, despite the SQ being slightly inferior to modern versions.

I listen to a lot of electronic music and I like Bluetech, so #7 is one that I already own and enjoy. Not tried any of the the others, sorry.

Try #5 too.

 

[Berwhale]

Try #5 too.

Not a fan of that, a bit too 'New Age' for me. 'The Coast of Bali' sounded better from the same album, maybe that's because I spent my honeymoon there

This thread mostly makes me reminiscent of being part of the crowd, who thinks Liam Gallagher is a twat

It was interesting to me that when a modern digital studio recording of some female vocals was used as the source material, I was able to distinguish and sort different MP3 bitrates and distinguish the lossless version. On Brubeck's Take 5, my answers were random. That said a lot to me about the use of the latter as a sound test track, regardless of its musical merit.

And I refuse to ever listen to JATP again. Don't really know the other ones...

Yes... am familiar with half of them already. The rest are pleasant and mellow. Thanks for posting.
