I help run an audio club in Cape Town. We have been fortunate to listen to many top-end systems (and most of them use Devialet electronics)
When the guys come to my house, we sit down and listen for 2 hours.
Then the suggestions come. Some are obvious (reduce the bass), some not so (move the speaker a teeny bit) and some a bit over the top (use some van der Hul cable). But its a useful exercise
We have also compiled a 40-track test program using many different sorts of music, and to let the audience think they have some say in the matter, let them choose tracks
There are favourites - Ry Cooder - Nobody; Nora Jones - Don't know why; Bela Flack - Flight of the Cosmic Hippo; Yuri Honing Trio - Walking on the Moon; Allan Taylor - Colour to the Moon
