I recently picked up several DVD-A demo/test discs:

AIX- Start Here
AIX- A high resolution audio experience
Denon - Sonic Boom DVD demonstration disc
Dr Chesky's 5.1 Surround Show

I haven't had a chance to listen to them all yet but was curious as to what your favorite demo/test/sound effect discs are. I just love this kind of stuff.

Thanks!
