    High End Take Up Reels by UHA

    Reel tables could need to be adjusted but maybe not, only way to tell is to try it. On your UHA deck adjusting the reel tables is very easy anyway it went.... However if my memory serves me, I seem to recall that I used a high end reel on your deck when it was in my system with no issues.

    United Home Audio Ultima 4 With Outboard Power Supply

    There are many great options for tape decks in high end audio, to clarify some of the statements / questions posted, here are just some of the things I do. A BIG BENEFIT TO THE TASCAM DECKS I USE IS DC MOTORS, no one talks about this for some reason... Running the entire deck on DC power...

    Is Reel to Reel Worth it to you at $450 or $500 a pop?

    There is something I always discuss with my customers.... I ask, how many LP's do you have? (forget the digital $$ for a minute) I have 2000, or I have 5000 LP's, whatever. OK just 2000 LP's at only $10 for fun, maybe you got great deals on them, but that is $20,000. Now honestly how many...

    Isolation for subwoofers

    I'm monkeying around with some SVS SB-16 ULTRA subs with the 16" woofers and 8" voice coils.... Lots of sub for only $2000 each delivered! They weigh 122lbs! I have Shun Mook "Giant Diamond Resonators" under both subs. When I put the GDR's under the subs I noted a definite lack of chuff...

    Making Space For Tapes!

    Moved the turntables and now LP's out of the UHA / MBL Reference system. Off they go to another UHA audio system with MBL 9007 monoblocks and the MBL 116F speakers, plus will have lots of turntables there now.... With so many tapes to store some of these LP's gotta go into storage. Just...

    Safety Master Pancakes - The Tall Stack!

    Actually I need the tapes on proper reels because at shows you have to be ready for upright deck playback under any variable show condition. I've shown with my decks right next to a huge 60a power transformer and also under an A/C vent that was blowing Arctic air directly on the deck, it was...

    Safety Master Pancakes - The Tall Stack!

    One of my employees helping me resurrect safety masters that have been archived on "pancakes" from 1970's and 80's at a studio. First you gotta very carefully get off the old masking tape at 4 corners then put the pancake onto new RMGI reels and screw em together without the tape getting...

    Anybody own MBL 101 X-Treme speakers? How big is your room?

    In a big room they are great for sure with space for the soundstage and dynamics to evolve, but Jonathan Valin had the Extremes in his 3rd floor walk up listening room that is NOT a huge room. It's a great sounding room for sure with plaster walls and high ceilings but it was pretty near field...

    Anybody own MBL 101 X-Treme speakers? How big is your room?

    Hey Jack, not sure of the draw from the wall, we've run the amps on those limited current outlet boxes at CES with no issues and we've ordered as much as 60A service from hotels that offer electric drops for extra $$$. As far as peak output from the big 9011 amps they will deliver up to 5000w...

    Anybody own MBL 101 X-Treme speakers? How big is your room?

    We started using the SMT panels for shows starting with Axpona 2016, we featured the MBL Extreme system playing a UHA tape deck. Yarek had the prime seat at the after hours Analog Tape Event on Friday night. Others had to sit on the floor..... I couldn't even get a seat in the room, had to...
