Extreme quality everywhere |

The Revox uses the 'C9' coupler for its AC cable; it is not very common and this is somewhat a nuisance |
|
|
The Studer, as befits a professional machine, uses a standard 3-prongs 'C13' appliance coupler (goes in its 'C14' inlet), easier to replace if the original one goes AWOL. A professional musn't be stopped by the AC cord missing |

One of my B225s was missing the CD-platter clamp spring |
|
 |
 |
|
Both the Studer and the Revox were made in 'West-Germany', this giving a clear clue that they were manufactured before 1989, when the Berlin Wall fell down. Definitely NOT 'Made in PRC' |
