The thing I really like about the Opus 3 test discs is that they are really samplers including excellent tracks from the Opus 3 catalogue of very simply recorded, very natural sounding, recordings of acoustic instruments and voice. And, for all of us vinyl fanatics, Opus 3 has finally returned to vinyl some test/sampler recordings: http://www.opus3records.com/lp_list.html .
