Direct 2 Disc

Holy Smokes!  I recently purchased and played a couple of Direct 2 Disc LPs on my turntable and I was simply blown away on the clarity and beauty of these recordings.  Wow, this was a wonderful experience.  I bought a Doug MacLeod and a Henry Gray 200gr LPs.  They were recorded at a place in Kansas.  Just starting to investigate these. On the merits of these two, I bought $150 more.  Do ya'll have any favorites that sound especially crisp?  I do have a couple of Third Man Record D2D recordings, but they didn't sound this good.

Dear @pgaulke60 : As @millercarbon posted some of the best D2D recordings came from Sheffield Labs others from Crystal Clear and M&K and some of the Nautilius but not all D2D recordings are good enough.

The one you named Doug Macleod is good but not good enough, I own it and I own one D2D Telarc that’s average.

The tape recorders used in whole LP recording proccess makes a serious degradation to the signal and we can attest it when we listen to the D2D of Dave Grusin and listen the LP recorded in the same session using the normal tape recorder that every LP always needs: nigth and day fifferences for the better the D2D version.

Btw, that Sheffield link has no single D2D LP when the OP is talking of LPs.
