Not that I can afford them, but curious if anyone has splurged and how do they sound?

They sound wonderful. But you need a 15 IPS capable machine with CCIR/DIN Equalization to play them. Otari or similar minimum.

One of the local hifi gurus has at least a few; they're extremely good.

You have to have a strong bank account to enter the Tape Project world! I checked out their home page - and apparently, you can't buy just "one" tape! You have to subscribe for a whole series!! Yes, and then there is the cost of one of their tweaked studio machines, or an Otari or RS-1500 also tweaked with outboard amps!
Out of my league...

Oh, they'll sell you a single album, for $500.
Their tapes do sound wonderful, and the per tape price is cheaper if you subscribe, but you can buy quite a few LPs, CDs and/or SACDs for what each tape costs. Add that to the very limited selection of titles ( although what they have is generally very good both musically and sonically), and it's a hard thing for most of us to justify.
