Review from Mike Thompson
The Overall Sound: The sound is very smooth and warm but with just the right amount of attack and definition. The low to mid range frequencies have an amazing amount of power and subtlety. The Recording Process: The microphone placing is well chosen allowing a beautiful spread and depth of sound and the ideal acoustic […]

Review from Brian
Hi Edward, I put on the tape. Sounds exceptionally good. Extraordinary lows, the double bass and cello are muscular, bass is raspy and the cello melodic. The recordings have captured the timbre , detail & nuance’s of the instrument. It’s an extraordinary recording, beautiful playing, all I can say is more thanks. The only problem […]
Review of the Beethoven Ghost Trio Tapes
Dear Ed, Unfortunately, most of my weekend was consumed with obligatory, pain-in-the-you-know-where stuff, so I had time to enjoy only two tapes, the Beethoven “Ghost” and the Mozart, both of which were – what shall we say? – DYNAMIC!!! Oh, my goodness, were they dynamic, absolutely stupendous, exhibiting effortless range – WOW – nay, DOUBLE […]

I must tell you, this is one fabulous recording – a heartfelt performance of exquisite music, bathed in a natural and utterly open acoustic. This represents one […]

Kudos To Ultra Analogue Recordings, Edward Pong and Tony Ky Ma
In my opinion, one of the wonderful things about WBF is the diversity of our members and their roles in the industry. Two of our Canadian colleagues Edward Pong and Tony Ky Ma are such examples. Over the past few years Tony has offered up excellent advice in all things reel to reel as well […]
Another Huge Shout Out To Edward Pong and Ultra Analogue Recordings
A few weeks ago I posted a thread here http://www.whatsbestforum.com/showth…l=1#post209072 regarding a compilation of classical music recorded by Ultra Analogue Recordings’ Dr Edward Pong. Those who know me know I’m am somewhat illiterate to the complexities of classical music but always love to listen to it if it is chosen for me. I received 5 […]
Bravo to UltraAnalog Recordings
I ordered 3 tapes from Ed Pong’s UltraAnalog Recordings and received them today and have just finished listening to them. I really enjoyed them and just ordered 3 more. I find them very much like live music in a small venue, where you don’t get that pin-point type of imaging, but instead wonderful tone and […]
