Wow. I can't believe how obviously the quality of the LP and system come through on a YouTube video. The soundstage was instantly there and everything is smooth and lush..Thank you for the experience.

Whooooffff! Superb sound, easily noticeable even on YouTube. Wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't heard it. All the high detail but no sibilance, weighty and detailed lows. Best I've ever heard and I'm a SD fan. Excellent review.
my barometer for used vinyl had been (until lets dance jumped up several years back) the 80s bowie records.
my new one is randy newman.

obviously this is the best comment:
"GEEEEEZ! Porcaro is da epitome of perfection punch and subtle nuance dynamics and leads the energy like driving the song like a bus steady as she goes"

i don't know how all the audiophile/classic rock dweebery hasn't killed my enjoyment for steely dan. they must be unkillable. i can talk about SD here on ilx and NOWHERE else. like, the very idea of a real life discussion fills me with fear, loathing, dread, hate, etc. even on social media. they are an asshat magnet for sure. and i do feel for the people who hate them. people probably should hate them.

Same, the fucking virus of awful Steely Dan internet meme joke crap hasn’t diminished my love either
