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.

rvpiano, This is a great thread idea, and so much so that it prompted me to purchase the Canadian Brass D2D. I have the CD version and Love their rendition of the Little Fugue!

Great!
I’d also like to mention some Original Masters LP’s are pretty impressive.  Maybe not as transparent as D2D’s, but worth listening to.
 i’m right now listening to the OM copy of Holst’s “The Planets”  with Solti conducting.
Fairly awesome!

Dear @tablejockey  : I own too some Angel 45rpm recordings but you need to listen the Toshiba 45rpm on a Steinway demostration. One of the best piano recordings I own.
