frequency, audio quality sound test CD

illnastyimpreza · 11-01-2006

ok So I've got most of my system together now, and I would like to check the sound

quality with one of those test CD's. As I have heard its much easier to check for sound quality using tones rather than music

.

anyone recomend a certain one?

You can get single test tones from realmofexcursion.com, but I think it's smarter to listen to music

to gauge what your system is going to sound like. You're going to be listening to music when you drive so turn on some music that you'd be listening to. There are SQ CDs that could work, like the IASCA

test CD.

I vote music as well. All the hi-fi guys have good reference material...not reference tones. Not that they can't be useful.

I'd actually recommend using music... test tones Imho are better for comparisons between different equipment/cars as it can eliminate many confounding variables.

What you need is the AutoSound 2000 CDs

I have a CD called the Ultimate Demonstration CD. Has some really cool (and good sounding) material on it.

Nice list. I agree that the Dire Straits album is excellent. I use it as one of my demo discs. I'll have to check out some of the others.
