Best looking reel to reel

The consumer models by Studer are cool looking too---the Revox A77, B77, and A700. For the pro look, Crown's are impressive. All of these make the Teac look like the mass-market recorder it was. All of these also possess excellent sound quality, if that matters to you!

Dokoder, & Crown used to be quite the rage. I saw RTR merely as tools. To put a ‘face’ onto them just add metal reels, or those whose appearance is not routine.

Why don't you tell us what looks the best to you?  Google "reel to reel tape deck" and go to "images".

For me, different hubs and reels can transform the look of the machine.

Wouldn't it be more prudent to invest in something that sounds good as opposed to something that looks cool? Just a thought.

Sadly, finding something that sounds good is the easy part these days. Any decent handheld solid state digital recorder will sound better than even the Studer. The beauty of these old recorders is their refined mechanical quality, and the look and feel that comes with that.
It is for the same nostalgic reason that I have not yet sold my LP12 turntable with its classically beautiful  SME arm, or my old analogue Nikons.
