revox b760 and studer a810



Revox B750 ... in unison with music

The Revox B750 is a great amplifier, fast and transparent, with a solid bass. It transfers even extreme Crescendi from whisper to furioso in impressive purity. There is enough headroom and the sound is very spacious for stress-free listening all evening long.

Revox B750 amplifier and B760 tuner

It's a smooth-sounding winner, featuring fully buffered record outputs in the preamp stage (a rare and good thing, based on Studer ReVox's studio heritage), and a power amplifier with separate, complementary - symmetrical amplification of the positive and negative part of the audio signal. The B750's only weakness are its loudspeaker terminals that can barely take a bell wire.

In- & Outputs for two tape recorders (TAPE1 & TAPE2) and a TAPE COPY switch make the B750 the ideal amplifier for audio tape recording.
And as if this wasn't enough, a third tape recorder in-/output in the form of a five-pin DIN connector makes the B750 ready for modern times. With a DIN to 3,5 mm audio jack connecting cable, an Apple Airport Express can be connected as a WIFI access point to wirelessly play music from the iPhone or Mac. Wonderful!

I still can remember when I touched the B750 the first time. It was the tactile feeling of rock-solid equipment, simply impeccable. It all worked and clicked firm and precisely as expected. With its respectable weight of 13 kilograms its message was: “I’ll outlast you, sonny!”





About Reel to Reel 2006


From the very beginning I got used to plan and keep records about every recording session. After I've recorded about ten or more tapes, it came that I have lost control of songs I had already recorded on tape while planning the arrangement of the next tapes. So I was aiming for a simple but effective solution to trace duplicate recordings: I have set up a simple table in a database software, which, by a primary key field, tracked down songs I had already on one of my tapes as soon as I have entered the song’s title. In this way I was able to control the songs I have recorded on tape and avoid duplicates. Well, since simple solutions never were good enough, ambition took control of my initial simple idea and I started to improve ...

Database version

Reel to Reel 2006 © is a database initially developed by using the earlier 97 and 2003 versions of Microsoft ® Access in the mdb file format. By the time it has evolved I have converted the database to the Access 2007 accdb file format and have modified some macros and code in order to be compatible with this software version. Reel to Reel 2006 V2007.accdb is the most evolved and only available version, it runs with either the licensed Microsoft Access 2007™, Access 2010™, Access 2013™ and Access 2016™ software, or with the free Microsoft Access 2007 Runtime software. I could not test the database with Access Runtime versions after Access 2007 Runtime, but very likely it will also be compatible with these Runtime versions. Access 20xx Runtime is free Microsoft software, a stripped Access software, that you can download from the Microsoft website free of charge without a license. In Access Runtime you can use a database application such as Reel to Reel 2006, however, since all design features and the database object window is removed you can't develop or modify a database.

For using Reel to Reel 2006 © it is important that the database file version of Reel to Reel 2006 is compatible with the Microsoft Access software version installed on your computer, or, vice versa, that you install a Microsoft® Access software version on your computer which supports the .accdb file version of Reel to Reel 2006 ©. Earlier .mdb file versions of Reel to Reel 2006 © are no longer supported; the current and final version is "Reel to Reel 2006 V2007.accdb". For installation, questions about compatibility, conversion and modifications of Reel to Reel 2006 © you will find further information on the next pages Download and System Requirements, or in the detailed Reel to Reel 2006 Installation & Setup Guide.

The Nagra 4.2 tape recorder

The monaural Nagra 4.2 was launched first time in 1971. Listening to my first recording made with 19 cm/sec (7,5 ips) tape speed I was pleasantly surprised that its monaural sound doesn't mean monotony, quite to the contrary, it clearly means absolute authenticity and high fidelity. Very soon the excellent sonic quality of this recorder has resolved all my previous doubts about monophonic sound. Quite to the contrary, I love its highly resolved, detailed soundstage and the fat sonic pattern at low frequencies with a punchy bass.


The Nagra 4.2 shares the Tape 2 inputs/outputs of the Revox B750 with a Studer A710 cassette deck via a top-quality QUED 2-way Tape Switching Unit. More information about Stefan Kudelski and Nagra tape recorders you can find here . . .
