Which reference CD's are you using?!

SixAndChange · 6th October 2007

I know a lot you guys are tuning rooms and auditioning sounds, speakers whatever with CD's of which you are really familiar. I personally dont pick some "sonically balanced" album, rather a few of my personal favorites and albums of which I have heard a hundred billion times.

These INCLUDE:

Rush - Signals
The Cramps - Flamejob
Loretta Lynn - Honky Tonk Girl

I have to say that I have heard more Steely Dan and Massive Attack being blasted from sound guys than anyone else, so I am interested to see what y'all got going.

Also, some opinions on the use of reference CD would be interesting. Obviously not all CD's represent the full audible freq. spectrum, but plenty of us can get a sound from listening to them.
