US$1,002 is ambitious for a B226 unless it’s been fully serviced and comes with the remote, manual, and very clean cosmetics. Typical used examples cluster more like US$500–US$800, with well-sorted or notably strong-condition pieces sometimes reaching around US$900; this one sits above that normal zone.
The reason people still chase the B226 is simple: it’s a serious old-school Revox player with excellent build, very respectable sound, and real collectible appeal. If the transport is healthy and the machine has recent service, the premium can make sense. At this price, though, I’d want proof of a refresh, smooth disc loading, and confirmation that the laser and output stages are behaving properly.

Revox traces its origins to 1948 in Herisau, Switzerland, when Willi Studer founded his company as a workshop for electronic equipment, initially producing high-voltage oscilloscopes and early reel-to-reel tape machines under the Dynavox name. By 1951, Studer launched the first Revox-branded recorder, the T26, marking the brand's entry into premium consumer audio while reserving the Studer name for professional studio gear. This Swiss precision engineering heritage propelled Revox through decades of innovation, from the iconic A77 tape deck in 1977—paired with matching amplifiers, tuners, and turntables—to speaker development starting with the AX series in the 1970s, all designed to deliver studio-grade fidelity to discerning home listeners.
The brand's product focus centered on high-end analog playback, excelling in reel-to-reel tape recorders like the legendary A77 and B77, which became staples for audiophiles. Revox expanded into complete hi-fi systems, including integrated amplifiers, FM tuners, turntables sourced from partners like Thorens, and loudspeakers manufactured in their Black Forest facilities. While digital components like DACs and modern streaming gear emerged later, the core legacy remains in meticulously engineered tape machines and matched system components that prioritized sonic purity over mass-market appeal.
Today, Revox holds a revered position as a high-end vintage icon and collector's favorite, synonymous with uncompromising Swiss build quality and studio-derived performance. Though separated from Studer in 1994, the brand endures as a niche boutique force, recently reviving reel-to-reel production in 2016 with partners like Horch House, appealing to purists who value heritage engineering in an era of digital convenience.
