My 35+ year old Tascam 4 track finally gave up the ghost. I told myself when that finally happened I'd upgrade to a Revox B77. I have 60+ reels of tape that contain music that can't be replaced. I am finding basically 2 choices in the Revox market. Either buy a "works great" but sold "as is" deck for $1,200 - $1,750. or buy a completely refurbished/rebuilt deck for $5,000. My system is a fairly high end one (Audio Research, Wilson) so, I'll need something of high sound quality, Any Ideas would be appreciated.
As you know, a R2R deck is the best sound and biggest upkeep. Either get your Teac rebuilt or get a fully refurbished one. Revox is, IMO, very high quality but others will give you excellent performance.
