    Va - Xlo - Reference Recordings- Test - Burn-in Cd -special 24k Gold- -1995- Flac Jun 2026

    These tracks are designed to interact directly with the physics of your audio gear, prepping the physical materials and verifying setup geometry.

    XLO, founded by Roger Skoff in 1991, was a pioneering company in the field of high-performance cables and interconnects, known for a science-based, evidence-driven approach. Reference Recordings, on the other hand, was celebrated worldwide for its exceptionally natural and dynamic recordings, masterminded by the legendary audio engineer and "Professor" , the co-inventor of High Definition Compatible Digital (HDCD).

    : Tracks 1 through 3 help ensure your speakers are wired correctly (in-phase) and that the left and right channels are balanced. A burn-in/reference disc like this usually mixes: Narrated

    | OS | Recommended | |----|--------------| | Windows | Foobar2000 (+ ABX plugin), JRiver Media Center | | macOS | Audirvana, VOX, Roon | | Linux | Deadbeef, Strawberry | | Mobile | Neutron Music Player (iOS/Android) – supports phase tests |

    | Track | Title | Duration | Detailed Purpose & Use | |:---:|---|---|:---:| | 1 | | 0:30 | Verifies that the left and right speakers are connected to the correct amplifier channels. A voice announces "Left Channel" from the left speaker, and "Right Channel" from the right. | | 2 | Voice In-Phase | 0:11 | A test for correct speaker wiring. Roger Skoff's voice should be clearly focused at the center point between the two speakers. | | 3 | Voice Out-Of-Phase | 0:25 | The same voice but with one speaker's polarity reversed. The image should collapse, becoming diffuse, unfocused, and lacking bass. This is a critical tool for speaker placement; listening to this track, you can move your speakers until the voice has no discernible location. | | 4 | Clap Track | 0:59 | A recording of a hand clap. This is used to assess your room's acoustics, specifically to identify excessive echo, flutter echo, or uneven sound decay. | | 5 | 315 Hz Test Tone | 1:15 | A single-frequency tone. This track has multiple uses: it can be used with an SPL meter to balance channel levels, with a voltmeter to check amplifier output balance, and for identifying room modes and "comb filtering" effects. | | 6 | "Prof." Johnson Does Something Spatial | 4:19 | Keith O. Johnson provides a fascinating, narrated demonstration of soundstaging, imaging, and depth, moving around and using percussive instruments to illustrate how spatial cues are captured in a recording. | | 7 | Demagnetizing Sweep | 0:57 | A sweeping signal (40Hz to 19kHz) designed to demagnetize the metal parts in the signal path (cables, connectors, PCBs) of your entire system. | | 8 | Demagnetizing Fade | 1:00 | A continuation of the demagnetization process, focusing on lower frequencies. These two tracks can be played at a high volume (your normal listening level) and are said to immediately clean up the sound. | | 9 | System Burn-In | 15:00 | A specially designed signal meant to be played on loop for hours or even days to "burn in" new components, particularly speakers, by exercising their full frequency and dynamic range. |

    Keep this CD (or its FLAC rip) as a permanent part of your audio toolkit. Run on any new component before critical listening. Then use Tracks 9–28 to verify setup after any speaker or equipment change.
