These curated song selections will brilliantly showcase the range of your new system

Testing new audio gear — whether you’ve just purchased a new sound system or you’re still window shopping — is the best way to see what a hi-fi system can do in your Morris County, NJ, home. Here’s your chance to evaluate the frequency range, sound quality at each frequency level (high, mid, and bass), rhythm and timing, and the overall performance of a system. 

If you don’t know where to start, we have some resources you can explore to develop your own testing playlist. Use this guide after purchasing a new system, or reference it when you demo our products at the Electronic Concepts hi-fi audio store

Let’s get started!

What Hi-Fi?

What Hi-Fi? is a well-known and well-respected independent buying guide for consumer electronics. The website features the latest videos, news, and reviews for hi-fi audio and home entertainment products. Every product that What Hi-Fi? reviews is tested in state-of-the-art facilities in London and Bath by a dedicated, in-house team of reviewers. 

While every test list is influenced by a reviewer’s personal tastes, What Hi-Fi? has published several excellent articles with specific tracks that can help you assess the performance of a new stereo system.

Their list featuring 10 of the best songs to test your speakers include tracks by Radiohead, Bob Marley, Max Roach, and others to help you evaluate every aspect of your speakers’ range, depth, and capabilities.

CNET

CNET is another well-known digital magazine that publishes reviews, news, podcasts, and videos about all things consumer electronics and technology. One helpful article on their site is a list of test tracks compiled by Steve Guttenberg, host of The Audiophiliac, a YouTube podcast covering high-end audio topics. Guttenberg’s list includes classical, vocal, and blues recordings with minimal compression and processing to allow as much authenticity to shine through as possible.

The hi-fi streaming giant Tidal knows a thing or two about quality music. Tidal is one of the best streaming services in the industry, with a massive collection of lossless, high-res, and MQA tracks for you to enjoy on your home system. Plus, the Tidal team crafts curated playlists for your listening pleasure — including the test playlist linked below.
