The return of an icon - the new Revox B77 MK III tape recorder NEW! Revox B77 MK III - a new highlight in analog audio technology. The Revox B77 is a true icon in the audio world. Famous and awarded for its outstanding sound reproduction and high-quality, sustainable construction, it sets the standard for analog audiophile excellence.
As a Revox product, it reproduces music exactly as the artists recorded it in the studio. With the new B77 MK III Stereo Tape Recorder, the Revox development team has now redesigned this special product and improved it with significant new features.
The components and simulation options available today have optimized all electronics. Proven components, such as improved original Revox pickups with a considerably longer service life and the unique Revox motors, are still used. The result is this outstanding new version: the B77 MK III.
All the new details, such as the audio technology for even better sound reproduction and recording quality, the precisely manufactured, high-quality Revox pickups, a digital counter, the ability to play all common tape standards, a wide range of connection and optional expansion options have been perfected by our developers, technicians and designers. The B77 MK III is manufactured in the Revox factory in Villingen.
The result is an extraordinary sound experience and an immediately recognizable yet visually new highlight.
Built for eternity...
Like its predecessors, the new B77 MK III is manufactured to the highest quality standards as an audiophile masterpiece and visual work of art and stands for demonstrable sustainability like no other audio product. The high level of production and quality control required for the B77 MK III means that no more than 20 machines can be produced per month. According to the Revox website...

$17,337 (at current exchange rate) for that ?! Don't get me wrong, it's a very nice tape deck, but it ain't $17K worth of deck. Until it comes down to maybe $2,500, I'll be very happy with my near-mint A77 MK IV, which I bought new in '78 or '79 for a dealer +10% price of about $900, and which shares much of the same physical and electronic design as the B77.
On the other hand, the U.S. Dollar is in the dumper as compared to the Euro. Other countries have a much more favorable exchange rate and so 15,950 Euros might be relatively reasonable.

We are inclusive and diverse, but dissent will not be tolerated.
B77 is a nice $2,000 machine, and there are thousands of them in all conditions to chose from.
But it lacks many features you expect in an expensive deck, such as tape tension control, slow wind, large reels, flutter roller, and on and on.
It was designed as a low cost alternative to expensive Studers, and today you can buy two clean Studers for that $16K price - two Ferraris for the price of one Chevy.
Back to sleep.
I have always wanted an RTR. Used is risky, and this as new is pricey. I suppose I could sell the Miata.
