Here is a blind A/B test!
This is the closest match I could achieve between the machines and what's important to note is that this does not really fit the mix.
So don't try to decide if you like it or not, just try to decide which of the examples accomplishes the task better. Pretty hard... I know.
For you who like to try on your own, I've linked the FXP file that you can import to the UAD Studer plugin so it matches up with the R2R... in this case the Studer -15, 15ips A program. Noise has been turned off on the UAD Studer. Tape is 456 at +6, 15ips at ~0VU. Reprod EQ and HF driver tuned to match the R2R program as closely as possible.
