Sound quality is actually quite impressive for all of the ones that I've heard.

I have a few that I still play on my RT-707. Sinatra, Handel, Diamond... they all sound superb. At 7.5 ips, some of the old Capitol Records tapes were the best.
And yes, master tapes played through good machines, IEC eq'd, Doshi, Bottlehead or Haviland preamps in the chain can't be beat by vinyl. Too bad those tapes are just so sky high expensive. A friend has about 3 years worth of Tape Project subscriptions. He brings them over occasionally and lets me play them on my BR-20. I enjoy that a lot.
I need to get a Haviland pre for it. Been looking around for a used one.
