Professional model, flaunting all the coolest developments of the company. The sound character of the Revox B710 seems elegant and effortless – the deck effortlessly handles even complex genres and provides a great engaging effect. Three discrete Japanese heads guarantee a very confident sound, captivating with its neutrality, frank presentation and detail. Everything is fine here – the transport mechanism with a cast frame and four engines is especially impressive. The pinnacle of Studer/Revox developments in the cassette field – made at a time when the need to save has not yet touched companies. If you do not need Metal-type cassettes (only Fe /Cr is allowed, but the frequency response is in the range of 30 Hz – 23000 Hz), this device will demonstrate the most natural and velvety sound. The device has a simple automation, however, it is equipped with discrete heads and has an azimuth adjustment of the recording system. The device, which went on sale in 1977, contained all the most advanced developments of those years and came close in sound quality to reel-to-reel tape recorders. The second generation of cassette decks, which includes the reference Nakamichi 1000ZXL, has everything that audiophiles dream of – and beyond. Aiwa XK-S9000 has an amazingly transparent sound, colored with all the colors of emotional shades – it is simply impossible not to fall in love with such a presentation. The reference cassette deck from Aiwa – XK-S9000 has an onboard digital-to-analog converter with a resolution of 18 bits, is equipped with an automated cassette cover and has a special system for preparing the cassette for playback (by shaking and damping). The sound of the model, although it does not reach the top-end Revox B710 described below, is somewhat superior to the Nakamichi Dragon in terms of working with the lowest frequencies. The last decks left the assembly line at the very end of the nineties, so now there is a chance to purchase the device in excellent condition. The Revox B21 operates from 30 to 20,000 Hz with a signal-to-noise ratio of up to 74 dB (with Dolby C). The model is distinguished by extraordinary precision – a pair of microprocessor-controlled motors and two more tonal shaft motors guarantee excellent performance characteristics. The swan song of the company, which came out in 1990 and was offered for an impressive $3,000.
