Various Artists - XLO Reference Recordings Test & Burn-In CD (24K Gold CD) (1995) (Repost)

This is THE step-by-step guide to setting up and fine-tuning your audio or home theatre system. Roger Skoff of XLO Electric (innovators in the field of cables and interconnects) and "Prof." Keith O. Johnson (audio guru and co-inventor of HDCD) lead you through a quick and easy system set-up. Included are tracks dealing with Balance, Wiring and Polarity, Speaker Placement, Soundstaging, Imaging and Depth, Absolute Phase, Component Demagnetization and Burn-In, PLUS a varied selection of RR jazz and classics to show off your fully-tweaked system! (Music includes: "Stormy Weather"; "Shiny Stockings"; GOULD: Derivations; JANACEK: Sinfonietta (excerpts); BIEBL: Ave Maria; WEINBERGER: Polka and Fugue)

User Reviews:

This CD improved the sound of my system less than 20 minutes after I received it. It allowed me to zero in on my loudspeaker placement and remarkably improve imaging. The "clap-track" picked out the problem areas in my listening room in a matter of minutes. Even if you think your system is already perfect, and just want to test it out and see what it can do this CD is great. The musical tracks (especially "The Queen's Monastery") will show off the texture, speed, and depth of any system.

Excellent tool for speaker placement. The burn in track apears to have made a difference with my new cd player. Great demonstration disc. Extraordinary fidelity on the musical tracks. Lots of fun to play with.

Excellent product and easy to use. I used it with my Nad Amp and CD - Platinum Studio Speakers configuration. After placing the speakers using the corresponding track and playing the burning track, the sound and imaging were really improved. This is a must have for any serious audiophile.
