I ripped and encoded a CD called Sound Check from the Alan Parsons Project. It's called a "Professional Audio Test Disc" and it's got lots of test tones and other tracks to help in calibrating a sound system. It's the best CD I know of for this purpose. I used it along with a Radio Shack ("You've got questions. We've got blank stares.") SPL meter to help me set my EQ. I'm extremely pleased with the results. If you do use the Radio Shack SPL be aware that it's readings below 100 Hz are pretty inaccurate. Actually, none of it's readings can be considered highly accurate but it's OK for $25.

Since this disc is no longer in print (Mobile Fidelity rest in peace) I don't have a problem with offering it to share. I've got the original WAV's and MP3's encoded at 320K using LAME.

Send an email to audiotest@theginsburgs.org for ftp instructions. That's an autoresponding address so I won't see anything you write.

Please heed the warning in the email about track 59.
