A New Reel to Reel Tape Deck?

Sam,

I  still thinking that there is another company that will display a new reel to reel as well.  I am basing that on Michael Fremers report. It seems like someone who has produced them in the past is gearing up for it once more. Almost certainly has to be Studer, or NAGRA. Both have strong financial backing and could pull this off pretty easy. I know Studer has kept all their tooling for servicing their professional machines.

I don't have the tapes but do have a set of CD's with the necessary calibration test tones. I use them to set the Bias and of course check head alignment.

Fun indeed!

Also makes me wonder what it's gonna cost?  =)  Maybe this will inspire TEAC, SONY, Pioneer, AKAI,  etal. to return to manufacturing machines again.  Wouldn't that be wonderful?

The Revox/Horch House deck will start at $5000. It will be a modular approach with the entry level machine, prosumer machine capable of only playback all the way up to a full blow, studio machine.
