It's convenient for checking pairs of headphones in stores, a friend's new stereo speakers, or the audio systems you might encounter at Hi-Fi shows. You can edit the songs if you like, cutting straight to the parts you want to hear for testing purposes.
To get the best possible fidelity from songs, buy the CD or digitize vinyl LPs to create lossless digital music files. Or, at the very least, download the highest-quality MP3 tracks available—recommended kbps or better.
Although your audio-test tracklist evolves over time, keep several staple tracks that you know well and do not change. Scoff, if you will, at Toto's album, Toto IV , but this track's dense mix spans the audio spectrum. This is usually the quickest test we've found for judging the accuracy of an audio product's tonal balance—the relative level of bass to midrange to treble.
Just 30 seconds of Rosanna will tell you whether a product is on the good or bad side of things. We purchased Cole's album Temptation when it was released in Since then, Train Song has been one of the first three test tracks we played when evaluating an audio system. This song starts with some intensely deep bass notes, which can push lesser speakers and subwoofers towards distorting the lows. The tinkly percussion that dances across the front of the sound stage is a great test of high-frequency performance and stereo imaging.
If your tweeter can cleanly and clearly reproduce the high-pitched chime, struck right after Cole sings the line, "…never, never, never ring a bell," you have a good one. Feelgood uses so much dynamic compression that the readout on your sound pressure level meter or the needle on your amp's output meter will barely move. And that's a good thing because the steady level lets you judge the maximum output capabilities for products like Bluetooth speakers and soundbars. But listen for the way your system reproduces the bass and kick drum during this song; the groove should sound punchy, not loose, bloated, or boomy.
Sadly, many headphones make this tune sound boomy, and that is just plain wrong. The self-titled The Coryells , the eponymous album featuring jazz guitarist Larry Coryell and his hyper-talented sons Julian and Murali, is one of the best that Chesky Records has ever done—and that's saying a lot. This particular song is a favorite for judging sound stage depth.
Listen for the castanets in the recording, as they are key. If the instruments sound like they're coming from 20 or 30 feet behind the guitars, and if you can hear them echoing off the walls and ceiling of the large church where this recording was made, then your system is doing a fine job. Metamorphosis is a great album by the World Saxophone Quartet, and The Holy Men is one of the best test tracks for stereo imaging and midrange detail that we know of.
Each of the group's four saxophones—all four of which play nonstop through the entire tune—is positioned at a certain place within the stereo soundstage. You'll want to be able to pick out each saxophone individually and point to it yes, in the air. If you can do that, you have a fantastic system. If not, don't worry too much because this particular listening test is pretty hard. If you want one of the best bass tests in existence, go for Olive's Extra Virgin. We often use the song Falling when testing for the best subwoofer placement.
The synthesizer bass line is powerful and punchy, dropping down to a deep note that almost disappears when played over mini speakers or bad headphones. Know that this is a harsh-sounding recording if you're listening to the mids and treble.
