You have to see / hear this deck to believe it!

Listening to 1st generation analog studio master tapes is as close

as you can get to a live recording!

Better than vinyl, after all the LP was made from a master tape.

You found out for yourself that vinyl was better than CD,

now UHA takes you one step further in the following three ways!

Three ways to use this tape deck:

1.) "The Tape Project" (click for more info)

Master tapes are available from United Home Audio

We sell a full subscription of all ten albums for $2000, or individual tapes

at $350 each. Each album comes in it's own special case individually

boxed and consists of two 2500 ft 10 1/2" tapes on specially designed reels.

Please call for more info.

2.) Make your own tapes!

The strange thing is that the tapes we record sound better than the source!

This is the consensus of customers in the store who have listened

to the tapes we made, why do they sound better?

We think that when we record something we may record it at a slightly higher DB

and that results in more dynamics in the recording (?).

Important point:

All the reasons tape decks were popular back when vinyl was the format

for music (before CD's and MP3 downloads) are now valid again.

Vinyl has come back to the audiophile world with a vengeance and

reel to reel tape decks are a natural evolution to that resurgence of vinyl, why?

a.) Tape your valuable LP collection and then you don't wear or scratch

your records.

b.) Also you do not put wear and tare on your expensive phono cartridge,

you can make it last a lifetime.

c.) Record only the songs you like from your LP's and put them in any

order you want, nice!

3.) High quality source tapes:

UHA will offer a limited number of "Master Source Tapes" at $350 per tape.

The Master Source Tape will consist of music you want recorded

on Quantigy 499 tape, considered to be the finest ever made. This tape

is no longer available however UHA has acquired a limited quantity

of these fine tapes.

The Master Source Tapes will be recorded from the following equipment

cost of this system is $85,350. You can have an $85,000 vinyl source

in your home for only the price of a UHA Reel to Reel tape deck!

1.) Phono Cartridge, $10,000:

The Clearaudio Goldfinger Phono Cartridge $10,000 (solid gold case)

the finest cartridge available in the world today,

amazing dynamics and a soundstage

that defies belief.

2.) Tonearm, $9,500:

The Clearaudio Master TQI linear tracking tonearm, this linear tracking arm

makes sure that the last song on the LP sounds as good as the first.

3.) Turntable, $27,000:

These machines have been TOTALLY taken apart

and re-assembled with every mechanical upgrade and new parts. There is

simply no way to service every electrical connection, switch, or control

without following this procedure. Every wiring harness and connection has

been treated with Caig R-5 power booster for supreme performance

characteristics. This product was not even invented at the time of

manufacture. The entire head assembly gets updated. The 2 track playback

head is a new high output low noise extended range head that was not

available when this deck was manufactured. This one head alone is a thousand dollar head.

The other 3 heads are all resurfaced and are as close to new as possible. If any of

the heads need to be replaced they are replaced. After the careful assembly

all of the settings and calibrations are performed. Again, without proper

servicing of every component these adjustments are not possible to perform

with any accuracy.

Even the feet on this machine have been changed from the cheap plastic stock feet

to polished stainless steel! See the picture above left.

Old boards left new right

For example, an old car from the 60's can

get a quickie restoration and it will run, but there is no comparison to a

complete off body restoration performed properly with every nut and bolt taken apart and

replaced. A tape deck off of Ebay will not even come close to the

performance levels of one that has been properly overhauled. Whenever I get

an inquiry from a customer about buying off of Ebay I tell them the same

thing. If they feel they can save money and buy an Ebay item and send it to

me to be overhauled they will find out quickly that they'll spend as

much or more to achieve the same result as what they'd get if they just bought a United Home Audio deck

in the first place. They also will never attain the cosmetic upgrades

unless they spend what we did and go thru all the procedures

we did in order to produce this product. The pictures of the various

upgraded parts are great but they don't and can't begin to show the picture

of what actually goes into one of these machines. The parts will show just some of the improvements, the

pictures are only of the process that gets you to the awe you will experience when you see and hear the machine.
