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 will push most tape machines to the limit. It’s getting closer to 30 ips but not the 30 ips relax clarity, smoothness and fullness. But 396 are the apex on the 15 ips. I think you made a great choice to go with 396. The Beethoven cello sonata #3 and the Encores by Xiang on violin are good choices to start sampling the catalog.
