Critic Reviews

Revox G-36 open-reel tape recorder | Stereophile.com

stereophile.com

The Revox G-36 reel-to-reel tape recorder showcases exquisite design and impressive mechanical performance, winning over audiophiles with its transparent playback and low wow and flutter. However, it falters in practical use, as it lacks essential features like stereo monitoring and adequate output levels for headphones, making it less than ideal for live recordings. While it’s a nostalgic piece with solid construction, the G-36's minor drawbacks and complexities might steer potential buyers towards more modern alternatives. If you're after a collector's item, it's a worthy contender; if you need functionality, consider other options.
