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.

RE: 2-track Kind of Blue Master Dub

Where does one find a KOB 2-track Master Dub Tape?

With all due respect to the catalog of the Tape Project, KOB would be worth the membership fee alone!

without intentions of sounding like a smart ass, one does not find a 2-track master dub of KOB, it finds you.

in fairness to The Tape Project; they play by the rules and negotiate licensing agreements on every title. not likely on KOB. it would be like expecting a master dub of DSOTM, a fully licensed master dub of DSOTM is not gonna happen. the rights holder is still expecting to be able to go to the well many more times for more re-issues.

How about 8 tracks?

Haha...8-tracks, that's great! :-) It'd be kind of fun to resurrect a legitimate 70's system replete with an SAE rack, JBL's, and a Montgomery Ward's 8-track!

Just an FYI... Paul Stubblebine from the Tape Project will be visiting UHA this Saturday. It will be interesting to hear the Tape Project's direction from Paul's perspective.
