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.

One downside is, once having WOW feeling from D2D records' sound quality, many other records you own sound not so musical to listen to.
I have a few, and always wondering that why other records were not made to the same quality.

Thanks for the info. No wonder why the selection of D2D is very limited.
I try not to be spoiled by the sound of D2D or other audiophile recordings. Just enjoying the music. For so so recording quality LPs, I am spending increasingly more time on Spotify streaming. On my setup, the difference is small. With lossless Spotify coming soon, I might stop buying any new LPs, unless they are very very special.
Gee, I just bought an LP of Kanye West's MY BEAUTIFUL DARK TWISTED FANTASY for my Son's birthday present. Hope it sounds good.
