Not necessary only tenors – just good operatic singers would do. Some properly arranged and performed operatic moments are incredibly difficult to handle by audio methods. I for instance have one LP recording of the Onegin’s last few munities with older Galina Vishnevskaya and George Otts crashing through the final duet and I have a lot of crossover intelligence of my Macondo/Melquiades built up around the proper accents of that scene. Big and complex choruses are also a VERY difficult to handle by audio methods… I still would not feel that operatic moments are good test for cartridge/arm configuration. The problem in mechanics of cartridge/tonearm I better hear listening piano music…
