This Tape Player Stopped the Entire Room Cold

After spontaneous dinner party invites from a vinyl enthusiast, I suddenly thought, “Why not bring the Revox B77 MKIII reel-to-reel tape player to see how it stacks up against his vinyl collection in a non-reference-grade HIFI system?” Since the new Revox B77 MKIII reel-to-reel player is built to be portable, getting it set up was a breeze. The tape head comes with its own preamplifier, so it can work with speakers that are already amplified. As soon as the tape reels started spinning and the music began, it was clear how amazing this player really is; everyone was totally immersed in the analog experience, and that’s when we all really connected with the music and let loose. Using the audio tape player in a system that wasn’t meant to be a reference HIFI system really opened my eyes to a whole new level of sound quality that was mind-blowing. And those new classic rock tapes from Rhino Records have everyone’s feet tapping to the beat.
