The very best sound: Direct to Disc

I must have made an error as to the RR recordings, the early recordings were so dynamic and real sounding that I forgot they were from tape.
I also have great M&Ks (a dozen of them), Opus 3 recordings, Nautilus and Pierre Verany LPs. I would like to obtain the Mamba Percussions as my Verany discs are of baroque music and not as interesting.

I was fortunate to purchase over 75+ D2D discs, half from wholesalers at $1/disc in the 1980s when CD was driving out LPs. They include many RR, Sheffield, Crystal Clear, Toshiba, RCA and American Gramophone discs. They are generally well recorded. The Japanese discs were generally of Japanese performers but still very enjoyable. The performances often have a hightened presence, an excitement (or anxiety) to create a perfect performance. I find them close to R2R dynamics and sound quality. Just great to hear.
