As a side note, not all the Sheffields are D2D. More specifically, there was some Sheffield Lp's that came out of their earlier stuff called "Treasury Albums." These were made from the back up reel to reel tapes of the D2D sessions. I compared one of those titles, Dave Grusin Discovered Again! To my ears, the D2D was superior to the back up tape session.
The very best sound: Direct to Disc
Since I got a new cartridge (Clear Audio Virtuoso) i’ve rediscovered the Sheffield and RR Direct Disc albums in my collection.
Wow! they put everything else to shame. I picked up about twenty Sheffield D2D’s when Tower Records went out of business for a song (no pun intended.) I’m just now listening to them and find there’s nothing that sonically compares. They’re just more real sounding than anything else. Not spectacular but realistic.

Dear @rvpiano : Yes, RR are very good even that are not D2D. Due that you own the M&K too do it you a favor and listen Flamenco Fever and Earl " Fatha " Hines recordings.The Flamenco Fever sale price is between 600.00 and 1K dollars. @mr_m https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/the-very-best-sound-direct-to-disc/post?postid=1958880#1958880 good that you confirmed it.
