Revox B795 Turntable


A friend of mine is selling his Revox B795 linear tracking turntable. Does anyone have one of these? and could you comment on the sound and reliablity?

Thanks!

I have a B790, had it since the early 70s. It was serviced once about six years ago by the revox rep. located in Barrington Illinois. It sounds decent and the linear tracking helps prevent damage to records.
I have a B790 that I purchased in 1977 and it has only been in to repair when I changed the voltage from 110-220. It sounds great. I also have a B795 that sounds good but lacks the Digital readout of the B790.
Despite jefranks' express opinion, the fact that he is going all digital while owning that Revox B795 speaks very ill of the TT. If it were good (and well set up) he'd be sticking with vinyl.
I have a B795 I bought in the early 80's. It has worked flawlessly since. Had the cabling upgraded to MIT in the 90's and have been running a Bluepoint Special, it sounds very good. Finally thinking about upgrading to the VPI Scout, but will keep the Revox for my kids.
