About the B795
The Revox B795 is a high-end direct-drive turntable featuring a quartz-controlled motor in a heavy plinth and an innovative servo-controlled linear tracking tonearm that mimics the tangential path of record cutting. It includes touch-type controls for start/stop and speed selection (33/45 rpm), opto-electronic tangential tracking with no skating compensation needed, and was supplied with a moving magnet cartridge like the Revox MDR20 by AKG. Manufactured from 1979-1986, it offers exceptional speed stability, low wow and flutter, and rumble, making it a top-tier fully automatic tangential tracking turntable of its era. The ultra-short 4 cm tonearm weighs only 40g, designed for high-compliance cartridges, with electronic lowering and pneumatic damping. It is no longer manufactured but available refurbished or used.
