Revox B795 Turntable


A friend of mine is selling his Revox B795 linear tracking turntable. Does anyone have one of these? and could you comment on the sound and reliablity?

Thanks!

I have a B795 I bought in the early 80's. It has worked flawlessly since. Had the cabling upgraded to MIT in the 90's and have been running a Bluepoint Special, it sounds very good. Finally thinking about upgrading to the VPI Scout, but will keep the Revox for my kids.
I've had mine since the late 70's. Still in service with no issues. I bought it as a dealer demo and am missing the cover (if anyone has one to part with).

I have had mine in service since 1983. Solid as a rock. Sounds very good depending on source. I am surprised I never damaged it as I would demo its solidity by banging on the chassis with my nuckles as hard as I could while the recoud played flawlessly without skipping. It still retains its cool factor. A very good design. I am waiting for the next generation of tangent tracking technology at an affordable price. Meantime... The Revox plays on.
