If you're not in your own house listening to your own system, then you are "testing" not just a turntable in isolation but also everything else in the chain, including the room. If you are not already familiar with these ancillaries, then it would be very hard indeed to judge the turntable. But as to LPs, I would cast my vote with LPs that you already know very well and like on your own system, plus a few that are "iffy" in your own system. I find that true upgrades to my phono system often make recordings that I had previously thought to be mediocre sound much better and sometimes great.
I'll come back with specific LPs, once I can get to LP collection to write down titles. Right now, I can only remember artists and labels.
