I have owned both Revox and braun. The Braun transport has a much smoother operation. Revox electronics are much quieter, smoother with a broader bandwith…The Revox A77 has a recording character more like a studio machine than any…The braun has a delightful ease and versatility unheard of even compared to a Japanese Akai or Otari. A Buaun has the freq resp @1 7/8 using conventional tape of cassettes using metal tape. The Braun is a great machine

The preamps, bias circuitry and heads are, infact, the same found in the Uher10000. While not as good as a ReVox, the rec/playback preamps are clean. The highs are sweet, the midrange is sweet and defined and the base is tight and resounding. The transport operates smoothly…I still own a ReVox a77 and prefer it but the Braun has a very smooth, feel.
