In Reply to: RE: Would you use a Kanye West recording to test a $6500 setup? posted by jimbill on October 25, 2014 at 12:46:56
Use the music you like, not the music to impress your neighbors.
Observe, before you think. Think before you open your yap. Act on the basis of experience.
Follow Ups:
A Kanye recording will cover the lower to middle octaves.
When you review or audition a piece of equipment you would want to challenge the entire range of the audio spectrum.
This is a very expensive setup so why would you use a limited recording to use in your review?
Because I don't care about music i don't listen to. But i do use many other recordings, many classical.
Observe, before you think. Think before you open your yap. Act on the basis of experience.
When I am auditioning a piece of equipment that I am thinking about buying for myself I would use music I like and would listen to on that piece of equipment.
But when you are presenting "your published professional review" to the world to help others then you should use recordings that will test the piece of equipment.
Vocals that go from the lows to the highs to test nuance, instrumentals that place the instruments within a sound stage, dense instrumentation to test resolution.
Once again, this is a very expensive setup, not a Walmart special. It's a given that it should be able to handle basic recordings.
