One of the cool things about UHA modded Tascam BR-20 is the upgrade path. I bought the Phase 1 last December and if I want to upgrade to say a Phase 5, I can send my Phase 1 in and pay the difference in price.
Also, I've made some good recordings from my vinyl collection. Even at 7 1/2 ips I can get a decent recording and with 2400' reels, that's a lot of analog goodness. Plus the fact that it looks cool as all get-out!
Now, I'd love to record some of my vinyl collection with a really good turntable/arm/cart/pre, etc. My have to travel for that one.
I play upright bass with a small blues/jazz combo and I'd like to get a hold of a good pair of mics' and a nice tube preamp and see how well it records live in a small club. Old School.
If I read the UHA Tascam info though, it seems that going to the Phase 6 actually cuts down on the units flexibility as it "optimizes" the deck for the TP tapes?
The deck certainly sounded good at CES and think it's a real looker
