The use of test records is not waste of time as long as you don't get caught up with them. There is no other way to verify whether your rig is tracking high velocity tracks unless you use a test LP. There are other uses for test LPs but the ability to track "super" LPs is a pretty good indication that you have your rig optimized.The high velocity thing is a bigger deal lately. Reissues of LPs have seen a number of LPs pressed to push the capabilities of the technology. This includes 33RPM LPs that are cut without compression and peak limiting (these generally span multiple LPs where the original was a single 33RPM LP) and quite a few 45RPM releases.
You would be acting like like that dumb bird and be sticking your head in the sand, ignoring potential damage to really high quality LPs if you ignore this issue. Maybe your rig would be setup OK without the aid of a test LP but using one ends the argument.
Using one without a listening test is also stupid. We are adjusting what? And what is the goal? Obviously its a device to play music so you check any changes by playing music.
In the end you need both a test LP and some familiar LPs to test your work. Either one alone leaves the work half done.
