When you audition equipment, what albums do you bring?

Some of what I bring (in no particular order) are,

Diana Krall, The Girl In The Other Room.
Weather Report, Heavy Weather.
Alan Parsons, I Robot.
Steely Dan, Aja.
Miles Davis, The Essential.
Prince, Greatest Hits.
Peter Green, Man Of The World

Could be that people do not bother with bring albums for demo any longer, maybe a USB stick with hirez files on it might be the normal now!

@uberwaltz,

We've discussed this before but...have you sought out JT "Catfish Rising"? The second lp is cut at 45rpm...it's pretty special.

@slaw 

I only have catfish rising saved in my Tidal albums.

So the original vinyl is cut at 45rpm or is that a special remastered release that is cut at 45rpm?

OP
Aja is definitely a great test album for sure, I have it too, a fairly decent copy.

I have heard that the I robot by alan parsons is good but I have not heard it yet, on my todo list!

I did find catfish rising by JT on Discogs only for the 45rpm version.

$46.50 shipped cheapest.

Is it a worthy contender for a great audition album and all round great l.p.?
