Frogman: I really appreciate your "measured" responses! I, on the other hand, am quite the opposite. I know that I don't take the time to explain my position, so I'll give it a try here. Steely Dan: I think I am much harder on them, given their hi...

"High Violet" = this lp gets better with the resolution your system is capable of. A 'GREAT' lp IMO.

One last thought....No disregard to Frogman, ... I think anyone who listens to Donald Fagens "Nightfly" will hear easily that it is a digital recording! I LOVE the music but it's obvious!I'm not a pushover, but I am obviously a lover of well recor...
