Studer for the ultimate in techno quality. For design quality I think there were also some Braun models designed by Dieter Rams. Nothing has ever come close for esthetic beauty.
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.
