Morph The Cat : Revisited

I recently purchased the Donald Fagan LP Morph the Cat. Man, I believe this is the best sounding rock LP i have ever purchased (at least one of the best). I saw a post a while back in which some posters felt that the LP was a disappointment in that it had no top end to it, and that it was bass heavy. I found that with a small VTA adjustment, the top end sparkles without losing the tight, deep bass. I love every song on this LP. It is much better IMO than the recent Steely Dan LP's. Anyone else have any thoughts on the sound of this LP?

Night Fly is a very good album and you will enjoy it., However, it was recorded at 44/16 and is forever strapped to that limiting factor.

As for sound, Morph will sound better, especially the DVD-A.

44 or 50, it is still limited. Yes, it sounds good but by todays standards it is limited. My point was more that I wish it was recorded in the analog domain, since that was a far better medium when compared to the best digital of the time.

BTW, I don't disagree that "Morph" album can sound good if you do not reference it to the DVD-A, or even the CD. But, once you do you will notice the frquency limited, or 3-4 db's down in level starting at around 10,000hz and bloated low end, i.e., 80 hz and lower boosted 3-5 db's, the album has when compared to the other mediums.

The caveat of course is that you will need speakers that extend an extra octave below 40 hz.
