New Steely Dan Aja

The CISCO pressing has been a reference for many folks, so would be interesting to compare this new one to a CISCO.

@jdjohn  Here’s the Stereophile review where the UHQR gets much higher marks than the Cisco version…

Very interesting!  High praise, and actually cheaper than the CISCO pressings, so...I have placed my order 

IMO, this album (and some others from Steely Dan) are almost over-produced, so getting a good version can be difficult to find.  Too much post-recording production can lead to compression.

Thanks, all! Yes, I mean the double-45rpm version from Acoustic Sounds but other new mastering efforts, too. I have been seeing reviews but wanted to know the thinking here. Hope you're all having a great independence day holiday! Great time for tunes!

I have the Cisco, and frankly, I think it's over-rated.  I have standard pressings that sound better and the AP UHQR is in another league altogether.

I have the UHQR pressings of Pretzel Logic, Aja, and Gaucho. I consider these the best pressings of Steely Dan that I have. Granted I don’t have a CISCO pressing of Aja, but I have found these superior compared to the OG, Japanese, and audiophile reissues I have.
