When you audition equipment, what albums do you bring?

n80,

Two Against Nature is a wonderful album.
I have two Knopfler albums, but I don’t have Tracker.  Is it newer?  Rag Pickers was the last one I bought.

My feeling is a culmination of any music lover's expertise/musical memory would be more than necessary.

curiousjim, I've been a Dire Straits fan from the beginning but I'm just now getting into Knopfler's solo work, but yes, Tracker was released in 2015. He is very prolific and has 10 solo studio albums. Sailing to Philadelphia did not appeal to me and I've done some cursory listening to some of his other work and it hasn't drawn me in. I need to do more serious listening. Privateering (2012, double CD) is on the way to my house now. Look forward to that. Down the Road Wherever is due for release the 16th of this month.
