Exactly!I use the same tracks from the same albums all the time. I have worn the digits off those pieces of music. So much so in fact that they are almost no longer really music to me. I rarely cite them in reviews because it would soon become unremittingly dull for readers.
So, I discuss the music I also listen to when assessing the product. This also stops me from seeming like I last bought a piece of music in 1994 or that I only own a dozen discs, which can be a problem if you cite the same benchmark discs over and over again.
The recordings used do change over time, but generally change slowly. The difficulty is some are very hard to replace, because there aren't newer recordings of the same quality (I largely shy away from 'audiophile' pressings, because I feel they are made to show off a system not show up its limitations).
