Just got a VG+ version of this pressing. Dynamic range is excellent as usual for Steely Dan. However my copy has above average pops and hiss. Multiple cleanings have not removed it so I'm guessing it's the pressing. A bit distracting but not terrible

I'm curious to know if the mastering on this version of the album sounds any different than any other version from 1976. This is the only version I've heard and it sounds pretty amazing.
