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.

Um, I quoted Donald Fagen using an expletive to describe his reaction to the great Denny Dias’s guitar solo. It’s an amazing solo and moment. It’s here.

Sorry for quoting the word Fagen used. That got my post deleted. 

Apparently, the "use/mention" distinction is irrelevant on this forum. I was not USING the expletive, I was MENTIONING it, because it was relevant to Fagen’s reaction.

IME, fidelity wise, Katy Lied is one of the worst sounding albums I have ever heard.

Wow.  Either not a lot of experience listening, or just making the statement to draw flies. Haven't seen a thread with this much overstated garbage in a long time.

Your criticism suffers from the same distemper as the sentence you're criticizing. Kinda invalidates it and impugns you.

Loved Katy Lied in high school listening via the single dash speaker in my 65 Impala... still love the album (Can't buy a thrill is still my fav) Any improvment is just gravy for me :)
