At Nordost, a large part of what we do is share what our audio components are capable of through live product demonstrations. To help do this, we spend a lot of time putting together playlists that highlight specific qualities in music and sound, so that you can appreciate the improvements that our cables and audio enhancers bring to a system. To begin 2026, we thought it would be fun to share our favorite demo songs of the past year with you. Some of these selections may have made an appearance in past playlists, but all of them are hits in our eyes (or ears!). As always, some may be classics, some may be brand new, some may not even be to your tastes, but we hope that there is something here for everyone to start off the new year on the right note.
