Recommendations for a jazz record which demonstrates vinyl superiority over digital
If an album was mastered in 16/44, which almost all are, it never sounds better upsampled to 24/96. Listening to 24/96 and higher is a waste.   
Time for a new cartridge
@drvinyl01  Yeah. That sounds fishy and I've not read that about the deviation in any review I've read. Esp not with the Grand Master cartridge.  
Time for a new cartridge

Music server recommendations needed.
24/96 sounds worse than 16/44 if the original music was recorded in 16/44, which is nearly always. Upsampling music almost never sounds better than Redbook.
