UHA Reel to Reel/Tape Project opinions


I list this under analog because I feel it is the truest copy of master tape and is pure analog. The question is has anyone out there compared a UHA Phase 4 reel to reel deck with Tape Project tapes to any VPI reference scoutmaster or other reference table playback of records? Is it worth the $10k investment when there are only 20 current titles to choose from at $300 each?
My system details: Magnepan 20.1s, Pass Labs X250.5 amp and Xono phonostage, Audio Research Ref 3 preamp and Ref 8 CD player, Shunyata Hydra 8 and anaconda powercords, Audioquest interconnects.

You live in New York :) Play you a Basie big band recording never ever issued from 1961 too. That'll knock your socks off too!

Myles,

i have the Basie 61' 'party tape' and the KOB. they both do 'rock'. the Basie might be my single favorite recording.

Sam,

come on up to Seattle and i'll be glad to play them for ya....and a couple other 'special' tapes too.
Mike:

Luv the Basie '61 but I'm partial to the Impulse Basie and the KC7. Talk about realistic sounding instruments. Wow!
