Best Bang for Your Buck? 2023 Aja Re-issue: UHQR 2x45RPM vs 1-LP 33-1/3RPM (Episode 134) #steelydan

@acousticsoundsks #vinylcommunity #jazz My recent vinyl shootout determined that the Steely Dan 'Aja' Re-issue by Analogue Production on 2 LPs at 45RPM is THE best sounding pressing yet, but at a cost of $150. So one wonders if the recent 1LP x 33-1/3RPM re-issue by Universal was a strong value given its $30 price tag. That's what I set to find out and shared in this video. 0:00 Intro 0:49 The Steely Dan Catalog Reissue 3:23 Comparison Overview 6:50 The 33-1/3RPM 1 LP Universal Reissue 10:15 So is the UHQR 5x Better? 13:21 Outro EQUIPMENT USED 2 Dual 1245 Turntables 2 Acutex 410E Cartridges Graham Slee SE2 Phono Stage NAD 3140 Integrated Amplifier Polk Audio RTA11TL Speakers Sony MDR-V6 Headphones
