All user reviews for the Revox B77 MKII

I am now 61 years old and I still have a Revox B77 MKII near new 1983 ... Musician and sound professional for over forty years, I can tell you that I've owned quite a package: No Starting my collection of Revox which went from D36 to A700 (about 25 machines) I had several recording studios where rubbed shoulders Studer J37, B 62, A80 16 tracks, 24 tracks and 2 tracks ... In addition to musician and sound engineer, I have a pretty good knowledge of the "analog (especially consoles) audio electronics and I always put your hands into the engine. All my machines were repaired and aligned by me ... Just to say that I know this brand by heart and even if I use Protools every day for 25 years, I often connect the old brand new B77 in HD ass like a CLASP system (Endless Tape without electronics) and it works great, really a different sound! It is true that this is not a Revox Studer but anyway if we are talking about two tracks for Mix or Master, I personally find that Ampex ATR 100, Telefunken B15 or even Otari MTR 12 (I had 2) are far ahead! So, finally, if you get one day on a B77 (or even A77) at a good price and you have a little time to devote to it, go for it, you will not regret it, you learn a lot about the sound will amaze you because it has much more in the belly than 90% stews coming out today! Musically ...

What about this magneto? 10/10

Like the current MP3 players, nothing in common.
In terms of manufacturing, the STUDER was sturdy and durable.
Glad to have this model since 1984, its operation is always blameless.
A Monument "Sound Quality".

NB: For insiders critics or not, Revox A77, B77, PR99 ... were manufactured entirely in WILLI STUDER AG, CH-8105 Zurick Rosensdorf-Switzerland, in the same lab, the same components and the same methods as equipment Brand STUDER.
Mr Willi Studer made no difference in the production of all models. No compromise with quality.
It was a different philosophy at odds with the current methods.

I utllis a rvox for several years when I was doing radio.

is a robust machine, put a few bad contacts possible time, but suddenly a bomb contact rsoue the problem for long. the sound is extracting, especially MODELS 38 cm / s, unebonne dynamic for the analog rduction without noise. the heads are reading npuisables. RULES its super convenient mounting and incorporates many DGIG heads to mark the band semantics.

I had but between other device, Uher to DAT, I have a respect for what magntophone that a certain class. the sound is not as neutral as a DAT, but enjoyable trs the cost.
In need of a magntophone band, magnto is good business opportunity, verify the state of reading heads and brakes (if the tape gets stuck)

For me, as for other magntophone band studio or radio rvox =
