Not sure if this is posted anywhere yet, but was looking for a great free test Audio CD to optimize my system. Found the Bink Audio Test CD that I could download to help set my crossovers and optimze my sub placement.

Burn it to a CD, load up your IPod or load it up on your PS3 hard disc and play away. It plays linear sweep, specific frequencies from 16Hz up to 20KHz.

Enjoy!

Thanks PacketJones.

If I don't have something good to say, why say it....Just hoping to help out some one else who was looking for the same type of setup audio test tones.

Here's another site I found that also has a large collection of frequency and test tones that you can download and run through your receiver for setup and benchmarking.

Concealer404 and I were chatting about "burn-in" CD's just today. I'll have to try that program, once I hook up my computer to my stereo. ..Would be nice to spped up the burnin process....At lest the CD's say they do the process 3 times as fast.......
The demagnatizing sounds 'sounds' interesting too...Never know IF my system IS magnatized....

Side note, they did say that there will came a time during the burn-in, that the system actually sounds worse....I seem to remember that same thing in the write up someone did of a 'burn-in' machine as well....but don't dispair, they say it gets better after that.

After over 4,000 posts by some of you I can't believe that none of you guys had this stuff???!

Anone got a Video calibrator DVD or do I have to dig up one of those too? Make the Newbie do it right! I can see where this is all going ;-)
