Recapturing elements of my youth, collecting vinyl/LP’s again, rebuilt a 50 year old Thorens TD125 MkII turntable, found a “deal” on a broken Revox A77 Mk3 I rebuilt, recapped, and, in a curious twist, recorded an original issue LP of Fripp and Eno’s “No Pussyfooting” onto modern high-density 2-track audio near-perfection. One of my long-time favorites, the LP was recorded in their studio (as was much of KC’s and Fripp’s and other performers’ music) onto what may have been this exact same model deck. What amazes me is the depth, overall tone, presence “sound stage” of the tape vs LP, especially when compared with digital recordings (which I’ve relied on since my first CD player in 1985). Even with the tinnitus, there’s just no comparison. I now have another A77 (4-track), and am reworking two B77 RtR’s, a 2-track HS and a 4-track NS. Will likely sell the A77 models, buy more tape medium to transfer more of my LP’s. I have to say I am thoroughly impressed with your collection, and the music selection was perfect for the video. Thanks for sharing.

What do you mean

I had a crown Cassette player which looked like a attache case... wish I still had that one

@@bones007able That was a different Crown.

Not a pro grade unit but recently acquired GX-280D was a really nice addition to the system

So, you have the collection but lack the equipment? The primary reason I haven't pursued beginning a collection of these gems is the seemingly prohibitive cost of the media relative to the vinyl counterparts.

@@mechantics hey nicholas, don't let that stop you, the media costs nearly nothing. Most of the times i get my tapes for free with a tape deck I buy. Only the very good 10" metal maxell-reels you can find for 20 euros ( 198 min ), which isn't all that expensive too.

@@milan5571 when you look at it , as long as the tapes c.an be housed within optimal conditions, they are still appreciating in value.

@Minilanka පුංචි ලංකා am i selling what? A service manual or what? I won't sell the machine😁

@Minilanka පුංචි ලංකා Well as i said, not selling the machine, sorry fot that😔

@marcopolo333333 youtube333 It sounds the best in that era because it wasn't nearly as about throwing layer upon layer and more layers of processing on it... They understood then that the less you play with the signal, the more pure it is.

I still have three A77 Revox recorders. 40 Years old, but still in perfect condition.

Да ну , как же так? Это клятые буржуи - капиталисты у великих русских все украли и скопировали с Юпитеров Снежетей Маяков и Тембров!

Yes, where the only digits to contend with are the ones preceded by Dollar signs!
