Depends on your definition of pro. I saw lots of Revox A77s in pro
studios in the 70's used as delay/echo/slapback units.

Well, yes. But I assume the OP wants it for record/replay purposes -
not as an outboard FX unit?


We are splitting hairs but I do agree with you in principle.

Well, I'd say you can't call a deck professional unless it uses balanced
ins and outs at the standard 'zero' level. I'd also expect it to be easy
to edit on. The A77 - fine though it is - satisfies neither.


Like I said, we are splitting hairs and I would like to see you edit on a
Nagra or Stellavox. I would call a professional deck any deck that is
often used by professionals, so that would include the A77, B77 PR00 and
the Uher Report.
