[rec.audio.high-end] low distortion sine wave test disc?

paul@sdd.hp.com (Paul K Johnson) (12/12/90)

I'm looking for a CD with some very low distortion sine waves,
preferably something along the lines of .01%, and preferably at a number
of different frequencies.  I've borrowed a distortion analyzer and I'm
having trouble finding a clean enough source to really test out my
system.  Any recomendations?

I don't own a sensitive distortion analyzer (and I've never checked
with a 'scope - hmm) but I've gotten a lot of use out the Denon test
disk.  I can look up the disk id at home, but I think they only made
one.  It has sine wave tones ranging from 20 to 20k hz in relatively
small steps (recorded at various levels), sweeps, low level linearity
tests, noise tests, and all sorts of useful things.  A very helpful
CD.

At the same time, if anyone knows of a similar disc with 1/3 octave warble
tones, please let me know. The Stereophile disk has them but only out to
1kHz. I need tones out to 20kHz.
