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.

I haven't seen Buddy Rich "Class of '78" mentioned. I bought it new when it came out. Blew everything else I had at the time out of the water. Still sounds great today.

Btw, i picked up a sealed copy of The King James Version for 2 bucks at Second & Charles a couple of years ago.

I found that the sound depends on the recording....some hot, some not.

I think if I had to choose between paying $300 for a D/D or seeing the Artists  live ,I would go see it LIVE.

One of the best sounding D2D recordings I have heard is a recent one of my Canadian friend:

Recorded at Bernie Grundman Studios in LA.
I have serial # 2277 and 2274 available  for $ 100 USD including shipping.
