The Tape Project and The UHA-HQ Tape Decks Review
By Jonathan Valin
...recommends several machines - including huge studio quality Amprex and Studers, as well as smaller "prosumer" machines from Technics and Otari.
I myself highly recommend the modified TASCAM decks from United Home Audio which I gave a Golden Ear Award to in issue 202.
...on the best Tape Project titles, it is without question the most realistic source component I've tried. It is also exceedingly easy to use and a snap to setup.
...you will get more dimensional imaging, finer low-level resolution, somewhat truer timbres, simply phenomenal dynamics, astonishinly wide and deep
soundstaging, and greater overall realism on select 15ips tapes, and on the best of them, such as the Arnold Overtures, you will, as I said above,
get a sound that comes closer to the sound of a full orchestra in a real hall than any other recorded medium I've heard.

The UHA-HQ Phase5 Reel to Reel tape deck
wins a "Golden Ear Award" for 2010
from The Absolute Sound Magazine!
The Absolute Sound’s Golden Ear Awards
is the annual feature in which
our staff and freelance writers choose those components that stand
out from the competition. Some of these components are long-time
references that have withstood the test of time. Others are newfound
favorites that are destined to become classics. In either case, the
products selected for a Golden Ear Award are special, indeed.
Unlike our Editors’ Choice Awards—a compendium of every product we
recommend, chosen by consensus of the senior editorial staff—Golden
Ear Awards allow each writer to express his individual views on which
components he thinks are truly great, and why. The diversity of products
selected here reflects not just the industry at large, but also each writer’s
quest for the absolute sound. —Robert Harley

Red Deck
The all newly designed UHA Reel to Reel deck shown with optional balanced Celtic designed reels.
New custom Celtic design knobs and custom blue VU meters(below)
CELTIC DESIGN KNOBS:
Along with the Celtic theme of the deck we had custom Celtic Knot knobs designed to compliment
the look of the deck and provide that last degree of difference to your custom deck.
These knob enhancements were custom forged, tooled, and painted just for the UHA-HQ decks.
CUSTOM BLUE VU METERS:
These VU meters were designed to offer the best sight characteristics when viewing your VU meters.
The new VU meter faces were made of a bright white background then
precision cut by a laser to produce a black graph and black lettering.
The black really pops from the white meter face.
The meter graph lines and numbers were enlarged over the stock graph
size and additional metering lines were added.
You will know it's a custom VU by the UHA-HQ on the meter face.
Blue VU meters
Notice the three dimensional Celtic logo side pannels below.
They are custom machined out of billet aluminum fit to the exact depth
nessecary to make a flush boarder on the sides of the deck.
They simply bolt into the rack mount ears, a simple yet elegant way to
hide the studio rack mount ears and frame the deck nicely.

Big difference right?
