love the hissing sound (distortion)... brings me back in my day.

The biggest problem was to keep the headgap as small as possible but this goes inverse proportional with what is needed to record a tape with good quality. The BIAS levels as well the freq. response equalizations were essential. Tape Noise was the biggest problem first, so the particles became smaller and smaller now which results in very good tapes used today (type I and II remain in the markets up to now). I get excellent quality with my 80's SONY Decks using today's tape (II) materials!

thanks for posting

I understand this deck came both ways- the visible and non-visible versions. I don't understand why...I have seen both and was told this by a revox rep a while ago.

you are wrong its the tapequality in mp3 area thats blown to really shitty

Except far as tapes go, compact cassettes are complete crap. Even the cheapest nastiest Mp3s can blow them away.
Real quality analog would be vinyl or 7 1/2 ips Reel-To-Reel minimum



Where was ReVoX made ?

In Switzerland and Germany. But the company's founder "Willi Studer" was a Swiss man and the headquarter of the company was there. Today ReVox is located and producing only here in Germany.

Hi! Yes I am lucky - everyday again! But you´re gonna be a lucky owner, too! This kind of tape-deck isn´t that expansive right now... Take a look on Ebay for example and search for the ReVox B215...

hi , I've seen on this video a red light ( lamp ) shining next to the right capstan .Are You sure that's the original lamp ? I mean , on my Revox B215 , the light of thet lamp is invisible , so is a IR light lamp. In your case , is a visible light lamp , but , in this case , the " end of tape sensor " right in front but on the reverse side of tape , being an infrared sensor , is possible not to work properly at the end of cassette , or even to command " stop " during play or wind.

Hi there! Yes it´s true - there is a little red light. But everything works quiet fine - also the tape-sensor. I do only know the red-light version at this tape-deck. I´ve never heard about a invisible light... Are you sure that your tape-deck is ok?! ;-))
