Batty Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I am thinking of purchasing a test record to compliment the array of set-up gear that I have amassed, any suggestions of which one and where to purchase. TIA. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterpan Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) I use the HI-FI news analogue test lp and find it useful. You are welcome to borrow it to see if it suits you, but I cannot remember where I bought it from? Edited October 4, 2018 by peterpan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full Range Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I use ballroom dance records from my collection ( close to 30 ) Yes I was into dancing in my youth and loved it These records are in most cases pitch perfect and time perfect The recordings vary with different styles of dancing eg Latin, foxtrot, waltz quickstep, giving variety of tempo of different beats And some EMI - Breakthrough Records are also very good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t_mike Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 If you want something designed for set-up, using test signals to check channel separation etc., these two are best in IMO. Use them with a Fozgometer or similar. Be aware, they aren't cheap, and buying used isn't an option if you want to be sure they are accurate.

Phaenom Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I'd recommend Bela Fleck - Flight of the Cosmic Hippo. It's got good range and the bass player will let you know how low your sub woofer can go. Of course, banjo jazz might not be everyone's cup of tea... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
