The records I use to evaluate a stereo system (they tend to vary, this is a
general sort of list, but it includes a couple of different types of music):
    -   Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side of the Moon" from Mobile Fidelity
    -   1812 Overture from Telarc
    -   Handel's Music for the Royal Fireworks from Telarc
    -   Amanda MacBroom and Lincoln Mayorga's "Growing Up in Hollywood Town"
	from Sheffield (the human voice is an excellent test for a stereo)

I also have an Omnidisc, but have not found it to be as useful as I had hoped
it would be (so now, I use it mainly for the pink noise to set the bias on my
cassette deck), though Sides 3 and 4 certainly tax one's stereo.  However, I
felt with these that I was beginning to listen more to my equipment and less
to the music, which is the threshold at which audiophilia begins to approach
lunacy...
