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'm familiar with those Sheffield D2D's but never heard one.

Anyone have any of the late 70's Angel 45 Sonic Series? 
If you have BOTH, how do they compare sonically? Are the 45's anywhere near the quality of the Sheffield's?

I have several of these 45 rpm albums of some classics:
Holst-The Planets
Gershwin-Rhapsody in Blue
Ravel-Bolero
Ketelby-In a Monastery Garden 

These LP's are pretty impressive. Probably even more on a very good system. Every time I have Bolero spinning at 45 RPM, I can see Bo jogging in slow motion towards me.
