I owned the A-77 and the Technics 1506 / 1502. I bought the 2 track head assembly. Hard to remember the sound from such a long time ago, but I liked the build quality, size and design of the A-77 best. Still have the 1506 in a closet. Sold the two A-77s years ago. Suggest you keep the Revox.
The best classic reel to reel tape recorders
Hi fellow Audiogoners - I am interested in adding a classsic reel to reel tape recorder to my system. I have heard great things about the Technics 1506 and OTARI 5050 B2 but am open to all suggestions. I currently use a Revox A77 1/4 track machine. I welcome your timely feedback.
