Peter Kaufman – March 19, 2013 at 1:37 pm As an addendum to my earlier writing, I failed to mention that all my remarks referred to UltraAnalogue tapes employing the 396 nW/m record level rather than the older and dynamically inferior – by some 4 dB – standard of 250 nW/m. This increase in recording […]
Peter Kaufman – March 18, 2013 at 1:37 pm I have been an avid open reel devotee for over 35 years, and I must say your 15 ips 2-track tapes represent, by far the finest I’ve ever come across — and that would even include offerings from that wonderfully quixotic outfit, The Tape Project, as […]
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 […]
March 12, 2013 Graham Received my 3 tapes this afternoon from Edward. All I can say this is the very start of my collection from Ultra Analogue. All three tapes are stunning in both content and production. Sound quality was beyond my expectation with beautiful natural sounding timbers that had goosebumps and the hair on […]
March 4, 2013 I got a chance to listen to the tape this weekend (as well as three others that I had ordered and one short selection that Ed sent as a bonus). Besides having the sense of total realism of the double bass and cello (and piano in the Gliere), the pieces are a […]
Hi Edward. Yes! It was my wife who signed for it. We share a post office zip code with another small town (Riverton). I have listened to the tape three times this evening and all I can say is: OH MY! After the first listen, I thought I should stand up and brush the bow […]
Brian Wheeler – February 24, 2013 at 1:36 pm Wonderful collection of music. Will be back to buy some when the tape deck arrives.

I have just posted a new tape of a live recording of the Rossini Duo for Double Bass & Cello and Gliere’s Four Pieces for Double Bass & Piano. This features Jeff Beecher, who tours with YoYo Ma’s Silkroad Ensemble, cellist Rachel Mercer & pianist Vanessa Lee Jeff plays a 1690 Rogeri bass & Rachel […]
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 […]
