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.
Paramita " , this one you have to listen it to know what I mean about because it’s down there in the land of D2D quality performance or at least the nearest I experienced: the MUSIC is extraordinary and even a true challenge/test for any room/system on reproduction of it. mobdrotubemate
You should listen to the Flamenco Fever M&K Realtime Records Direct-to-Disc LP. It’s a great recording with massive foot stomping. If you want to impress people with how live and real your system sounds, this is a good demo.
@audioquest4life Agree. Flamenco Fever is a reference level recording. Unfortunately, it is also quite rare and now very pricey! But if the price doesn't put you off, it should be in everyone's collection.
