Steely Dan Catalog on UHQR Vinyl
It would be nice if there was an option between the $30 and $150 options for the 20th center releases like there are for 2 Against Nature and Everything Must Go. Acoustic Sounds has them for $60 (I think they are 45s, which I like). If they could ...

I meant 21st century albums - 2 Against Nature and Everything Must Go.    
Steely Dan Catalog on UHQR Vinyl
Being a Steely Dan obsessed fan (I’ve seen them 20+ times including Fagen solos and Dukes of September concerts, read Fagen’s book and met him briefly at a book signing- he’s not what I would call sociable) I am afraid I will break down for 2-3 ...

I got the P8 when they first came out to replace my P5 (did the arm first). The arm especially is excellent. It is clean and adds nothing to the sound, which is what you want in a table. Not sure if the P10 is worth almost double the money. I hav...

Cool. Anybody that buys all the UHQRs (or One Steps for that matter) is an investor/collector and is fine for AS & Mofi, but they drive the prices up for the true fans. Whenever I see a great album for sale thats brand new, I don’t think that ...

@bdp24 - understandable, but I would argue that the 45s are not changing the order of the songs the artists prefer, only the pacing between them. Many of my jazz 45s only have a song or two on a side anyhow. This only other pop/rock 45 I own (asi...

@bdp24 - you're a higher roller than me if you don't think $3-400 for the 4 LP KoB isn't real money. When you are talking $20K, then you are talking about an investment....Zeppelin is OK, but I don't have any of their stuff and have non interest i...

BTW the 4 LP set goes for over $300 on Discogs...

@bdp24 - watched Michael Ludwig's video.He is obviously a pal of Chad and Bernie's, which is fine, but I think there is some bias. He rated the Mofi 45 an 8/10 and the new 45 UHQR 10.5 (which is ridiculous of course - it's like someone giving 110...

@pratorious - I was under the impression the SD titles would be offered thru AP in a “typical” audiophile release at 45 like is available for Two Against Nature and Everything Must Go. They were released on record store day last year on regular vi...

@pratorious - Is an analogue tape copy better than a digital tape copy if the sampling is high enough? It's still a copy. I know that way back starting with Fleetwood Mac's Tusk in the early 80s, some records were recorded digitally. I remember th...

In Chad’s video announcing the Steely Dan UHQR:s, he says Aja and Gaucho are based on digital, not analogue because of analogue tape availability. Like I said, i doubt if it will impact sales of those titles, and when he said the numbers being pro... 
The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them
Whoever is quoted on You Tube lying didn’t speak for Mofi. I can’t find any materials where they say the records ate produced 100% analogue through every step. Now that this controversy is out there, Mofi states how each record uses any digital s...
