The Toto "Porcaro brothers" moved on a 'higher" plane. I always go back to that album, Mike, because of all the intricate percussion patterns embedded on that album; blows me away. I could be wrong, but I think that album was commissioned by Yamaha to showcase the latest piano synthesizers.
The first time I heard this cut at a car audio shop, I was floored. I immediately drove to a local Tower Record store and bought the album.

Hi fellows, I have discovered a black diamond and like to share it here with you..
"Woody Shaw – In My Own Sweet Way" DMM pressing 150g vinyl
this is a miraculous performance grabbed in a vinyl record with both unbelievable sound and music
it's one of the best recorded and pressed vinyl in my collection generally independently of the music genre
the fantastic sound and performance of this record also makes easy to reveal each small or big level changes in system upgrades
I own both limited and normal editions they' re both excellent they cost low if you find grab the limited 150g edition
It will be well acceptable if someone buys the record and shares impressions here

This is not a D2D. The one D2D that is also DMM that i'm aware of was by Stockfisch.

the M&K Flamenco Fever is an old war-horse for sure, I find this record matches the sonics of FF but musically far more intersting:

IMHO these are the best sounding D2D records ever made. Don’t miss when you come across one of these.

For God say!! I' ve got every Sheffield Lab record (in my early audiophile era when I bought what everyone 'golden ear' say and not what I my ears said).. no one of those records sounds even in an acceptable sound quality level, all total trash!! I have mentioned this some time ago in this forum.. Sorry for disagree, this is my absolute personal opinion..

There is no need to be sorry, you shared your opinion, it's ok.

No worries. I've not heard the Woody Shaw record you cite, but in general I abhor DMM mastering. By in large they sound screechy and threadbare when compared to the same title cut from lacquer.
