2007 Remaster of RDM on CD rip.
Even after a couple of espresso’s, the old heart- rate’s staying remarkably low.

This is going to play havoc with my NAS streaming library when I down load the Hi Res of Wet Dream later - either it’s Richard or Rick
Blooming Pink Floyd when I was a lad it was Dave Gilmour now it seems to be David Gilmour. But at least he was consistent on the album covers.

I fear you’re right.
Had high hopes this project would result in some good new streaming versions of the Dan canon:

Not much evidence of that here, sadly.
Wonder if anyone on the forum has bought the download and can advise if that offers a serious uplift in SQ?

p.s sorry there’s no download, seems vinyl only for now
I am sure there are people here who will say they can hear more air around Walter Beckers trousers but the Steely Dan Hi Res reissues to-date have been a huge disappointment if you have already ripped the CDs.
I have said it before I want a job in Hi Res - it can’t be that difficult to do nothing or make a worse recording.

Getting my freak on with a recent Roon curated playlist.
Radio Europe 1989. Ian Hunter and Mick Ronson
For some reason I don’t think I’ve heard this before and I’m only part way through. But what’s not to like; Hunter’s lyrics, Ronson’s guitar.

I saw them on this tour at the Dominion Theatre in London - Dogs D’Amour were the support act.
I’d written a bit, that I deleted, bemoaning the fact I never saw, and now not likely to, Ian Hunter live (had tickets to see him once but was unwell so didn’t go).
I did wonder if any had seen them on this tour. Hope you enjoyed it.

There was a time pre Spotify when I was ahead of the game and an album collection meant something - now it’s all there on Qobuz etc.

Yes, but you can’t skin up on a digital file. Not even hi-res.

I like the black top plate on the LP12. (Apologies if I have remarked on this before!)
LOL - to be fair the Hi Res version of Gaucho is a cut above the CD. But it’s the only one to date.
Shame really 'cos they’re just about the only major artists whose entire catalogue I would happily listen to back to back at any time.

I see the Gaucho Hi Res is only £3.69 in the current Qobuz sale (if you have the sublime Hi Res discount).
Would be attractive had I not given all my money to a builder.
Qobuz streaming and the occasional glass of Sauv Blanc are the only pleasures left to me now ;
