Anyone with a love of hi-fi has a selection of test tracks ready to pull out at any given opportunity – be that for new kit they are auditioning or simply to show off the best abilities of a system they have already lovingly put together.
For the hi-fi engineers tuning the speakers and hi-fi separates that make their way into your home, these test tracks are all the more important. And while the overarching advice for the best test tracks remains to pick songs that you know inside out, it’s always interesting to hear about new music that might help to push your system in new ways – or even show up areas where it could be improved.
