Best kind of music for blind test?

2002-07-03 15:10:58

I'm going to perform a few blind tests on myself to see if it's worth me re-encoding my collection using -aps (I've used -r3mix in the past). What's the best kind of music to use as a test? I have all sorts in my collection so any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,

I tried a quick test with a gary moore song through some good sony headphones and to be honest I can't tell the differance between r3mix and aps at all. I took a guess at which sounded best and actually picked the r3mix track... I think i'll keep my collection as it is but Ill use aps for future encodes.

I'd just keep the tracks as they are - if you come across artifacts later, just re-encode the tracks or albums where you hear them.
