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.

A more off point observation....I get annoyed when in his interviews, he is constantly cutting off his interviewees. I want to hear their thoughts, not your uncontrolled ability to constantly interject your "at the moment" thoughts.

This UHQR Steely Dan release was the most interesting to me. I own the MFSL and was always disappointed. We’ve since read how the issues in the recording process affected the SQ. So apparently this new UHQR has managed to increase fidelity to an originally flawed recording. I'm gonna pass.
