Title: Tape Coverage in The Absolute Sound
Post by: TomR on June 09, 2013, 10:59:54 AM

I didn't see a mention of this before, so here goes. The latest issue of The Absolute Sound (July/August, 2013) has quite a lot of coverage of RTR, starting with a review of the United Home Audio UHA-HQ tape deck (which Valin describes as the best source component he has ever heard, regardless of format). He also has a shorter review of the SonoruS ATR10, and also a list of available 15ips tapes. Very good reading. V

Somehow he managed to hear a dupe of a safety master of Sgt. Pepper....the description will make your mouth water. We can only dream!

Good Evening Tom R,

I just got my copy of the Absolute Sound mag and read what appeared to be pretty comprehensive coverage of what's going on in the reel to reel tape arena. In particularly it appeared to cover much of the software available. I am looking to see what's next.

It was a welcome surprise to see Mr. Valin review a second UHA reel deck in less than three years. Back then he stated that the better Tape Project reels were superior to vinyl counterparts. I'm guessing that the coverage of the two track tapes currently available indicates greater enthusiasm by Valin/ The Absolute Sound for the format and it's support. I hope he won't change his mind his mind too quickly on this like his frequent rotation of best loud speaker.
