«  Great when we know it ... »

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!
