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.

Great Discussion Everyone - Thanks for the thoughts.  I’ve done some more digging.  Sheffield Labs simply doesn’t have a catalog that I am interested.  I can appreciate a few of their recordings, but mostly it is not my preferred artist set.  And I must be perfectly honest, I do indulge in a few things - good bourbon and my audio system - but I am hard pressed to spent upwards of $200 or more for a bloody LP.  Better records has a great selection, but man-o-manicotti, that is simply beyond my price range.  East Wind has a real good selection.  The recordings from Blue Heaven Studios in Salinas, Kansas are affordable and wonderful.  
Another question, that I am not familiar with the answer to, do 45rpm 12” LPs sound better that 33.3 LPs?  My Henry Gray D2D recording is 45rpm.  I’ve seen a few other box releases where all the LPs are 45rpm.  Thanks in advance.  
@rodman99999 Thanks much for the post and your thinking.  I too would bias toward 45 rpm.  Thinking there must be a reason that they are doing it, otherwise they would put more music on a side of a LP.  Those Discog prices for SF LTD are great.  Should be a easy investment to hear the music.  I'm a big Alberta Hunter fan!
