So as much as I like the sound of vinyl I don't think I agree with what you wrote.
My personal tracks for checking different systems:
Steely Dan - Gaucho, Aja and Two Against Nature (album)
James Taylor - Hourglass (album)
lately also
Los Lobos - Colossalhead (album)
Lucinda Williams - Car Wheels On A Gravel Road (album)
A Tribe Called Quest - any track with decent lowend, like "Phife's Return"
Busta Rhymes - same deal, low end, like "Ill Vibe" or "Do The Bus a Bus"
The Yellowjackets - Like A River (album)
John Scofield - Grace Under Pressure (album)
The Roots - Do You Want More? (album)
