New remastering of Steely Dan's Katy Lied review by Fremer

I don't have a turntable, but in this case, the remastered material is streamable. I did a bit of listening last night and it sounds a bit better, but it’s still far short of Aja, so there’s a let-down effect. “It sounds better” is not the sonic experience of “Wow, this is amazing.” 

Still, better is better, and I'll settle for better.

I no longer spin vinyl but I saw the new hi-res version on Qobuz.  I will definitely give it a listen.  I love Steely Dan.

Great songs that suffer from recording decisions at the time.  Once it’s on tape there’s only do much you can do.  One thing I like about SD reissues is that they are not as compressed as many other recent reissues.  I find I have to crank the volume so it’s loud enough for my old guy ears.  The songs hold up since their arrangements are so great.  I had a great time streaming the 10 songs again last night.
