Hi folks, I have recently purchased several tapes from UltraAnalogue (ultraanaloguerecordings.com), based near Toronto. Ed Pong records young talented artists in his home studio with all tube equipment and sells copies of the master tapes. Ed shared with me pictures of his home and the area where he hosts concerts. Very nice. The releases are […]
Harry – September 9, 2012 at 1:34 pm Best tape source for classical music. Sound and performance, both are great. Service is also no comparison to others. Ed, please keep the project going and we all look forward for future issues. All the best to you and your group.
Bruce Asam – September 7, 2012 at 1:34 pm The sound of your tapes puts you in the room with the performance, with the instruments. I can close my eyes and the speakers, amps and deck disappear. You can “see” every note, every bow stroke, every nuance. I can’t imagine getting a “closer to the […]
Morgan – September 4, 2012 at 1:34 pm I was stunned by the openness and clarity from UltraAlanlogue comparing to other current companies offering tapes on the 2-track 15 ips format. At 396 nW/m on NAB is like listening a 45 rpm to a 33 1/3 rpm LP. Of course the dynamics on the 396 […]

Lawrence DeRose – April 27, 2012 at 1:33 pm If you can recreate steller analog open reel tapes of accomplished performers at a reasonable price considering your overhead, then The Tape Project people should go out of business. Cruel? Too bad! $350+ pricing for a tape is a rip in anyones eyes. (Accept the rich). […]
Alex – April 7, 2012 at 1:33 pm I have number of modern 15ips 2 track tapes. All of them are great, but Ultra analogue recording of Beethoven cello sonata #3 Â Is the one that set a standard. The recording is simply amazing capture of the real event in the real physical space. It […]
Just out – April 2012 issue of CD reviews: “Young Dutch cellist Sietse-Jan Weijenberg gives a real emotional roller coaster of a reading of Rachmaninoff’s Sonata” “Intensely felt rubato in the first movement lends the cello’s extended notes a feeling of infinite space, and the Andante is played with convincing passion” “Weijenberg plays a 1707 […]
