Is the question for more than Bruce? If so, anything that has strong high frequency content, say crash cymbals, string quartets, etcQuestion is in the heading Bruce. Do you have a specific set of tracks you find more useful to evaluating digital products?

Tim-Jitter is the digital boogeyman that is always hiding in the closet and waiting to jump out and scare you and ruin your audiophile day. Even when you don’t hear the digital boogeyman, he’s always in the back of your mind taunting you. He will make you change recordings and speakers in order to make him go away.
Seriously, I think Bruce pretty much explained what you have to listen for, but you have to know what is on the recording in the first place. It doesn’t help to listen for a cymbal being softly struck and decaying into blackness if you don’t know what it should sound like based on experience.
Here is one I especially like. It's the Sheffield Drum and Track that I remastered for the FIM label. The label wanted more punch and felt the original was too dry. We did some ambience recovery and made it sound more "live". You can definitely hear the decay of the cymbals and drum transients all the way into the blackness.

Hi Bruce,
Which version do you suggest? Do you recommend the 2004 XRCD24 disc or the 2010 as shown in the photo?

One cool piece that I just finished up a couple months ago is a solo piano album by Jovino Santos-Neto. This was recorded over 2 days at the Fazioli Salon in NY. The last track is solo piano with the sustain pedal on all the other pianos in the studio engaged.
The album is on the Adventure music label.
Is it this one? The others seem to have been recorded in Brazil.
