Steve Nelson is also worth checking out.

He is on many of Dave Holland's Quintet and Big Band recordings, unfortunately they are on ECM and not available on TIDAL.

Joe Locke is another great vibes guy and he is on TIDAL.

Stephon Harris - Evolution, Black Action Figure, and New Directions.

I found some others recently that were too abstract for me, notably, with Jackie Terrason.

Another Gary Burton classic, Morello kills on this record and the other two dudes aren't too shabby either:

I've been listening to Steve Reich's "Music for 18 Musicians" lately, which uses the [metallophone]; in this case, an unplugged vibraphone so that the motor driven valves are not spinning.
Another favorite of mine is Eric Dolphy's "Out to Lunch" with Bobby Hutcherson on "vibes". Very cool.

I have spent the evening listening to Jay Hoggard... and liking it!

I am sort of thinking a good musician on the vibes provides a lot of information about the quality of one's audio gear. The subtlety of the attack and decay of the vibrophone is wonderful to experience on a decent system.
