Re: I suggest you...

"Really tweaking the Revox could be the most surprising change to this package - I have a G-36 (tube) Revox and several other rebuilt big tape players, and I've never had a commercail tape beaten by an LP made at the same time - I don't mean Classic Records (etc) re-issues. There can be real magic in them thar tapes!"


I'll confess to never having heard reel to reel in a home audio system, but whenever I've seen mention of it the consensus was that reel to reel was the finest playback available, as it should be in theory with a player capable of extracting the best from the medium.

When reading up about my own EAR 509 amps I came across an article describing how Tim DeParavicini specialised in modifying a Revox G36 and that the playback was extraordinary; it's just a shame that the tapes are apparently subject to wear and tear and that other players haven't been subjected to the same level of evolution/development in their engineering like turntables have.
