Artist : Jennifer Warnes
Album : The Hunter
Song : 02 Somwhere, Somebody

CHECK the crystal clear sound, be aware of supersonic audio frequency range too,
so if your speaker system can handle the ultra low frequencies, you will experiance some hidden details too :-)

I wasn't aware of Jennifer Warnes so this is a great find. 'Way Down Deep' on the same album (The Hunter) is about as low as anything I know.

There's a YouTube video by Hans Beekhuyzen about Pi Power Supplies (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_i8UTa4rw4) and he recommends a Bob Dylan track, 'Man In The Long Black Coat' from the album 'Oh Mercy', that shows up PSU differences. I was skeptical but to my surprise could hear the difference between my standard Pi supply and an old but good linear supply I have. I'll now be building a smaller, more modern linear supply for my system.

Wow, thanks a lot, this song is awesome!
I've heard it long time ago, but I couldn't find it for years!

Smooth Criminal - Michael Jackson for bass response.
Auerlio Voltaire - Riding a Black Unicorn... for treble.

Anything else for anything else.

Hmm that use of supersonic frequencies is not a common thing as for my experience. Thanks, it was interesting to discover :)
