Revox B285 Receiver Pristine Condition Appearance & PerformanceWell cared in the Family All capacitors recapped; new Power capacitor; updated Transistor coolingIncludes power cord; original users & service manuals; antenna German Revox products are known for fine performance, uncompromising quality, rugged construction, and unusual ergonomic design. These qualities are exemplified by the B285 AM/FM receiver. A high-performance tuner which uses of computer technology in its control operations. The receiver can also be turned on by pressing an input selector: TUNER, PHONO, DISC, TAPE 1, or TAPE 2. other than using the power switch plate, The B285 also has a novel alphanumeric memory feature, which allows the normal station-frequency display to be replaced at will by any four-character alphanumeric group such as the station call letters or an abbreviation of its location. It can store up to 29 AM or FM frequencies.It is rated to deliver 70 watts per channel into 8-ohm loads (or 90 watts into 4 ohms) between 20 and 20,000 Hz with no more than 0.03 percent total harmonic distortion. The amplifier sections frequency response (measured through the disc, or CD, input) was ruler-flat from 20 to 20,000 Hz. The tone controls had excellent characteristics, with virtually no effect on the midrange response. The loudness compensation affected only the bass frequencies, below 250 Hz, using the same response contours as the bass tone control; it did an excellent job, without the heaviness produced by many loudness controls. We noted that the tone-control readout also shows the amount of bass boost being supplied by the loudness system, as determined by the volume setting. The phono equalization, though accurate, was slightly affected by the volume setting at frequencies below 40 Hz, and the infrasonic filter had a very slight effect in the range from 30 to 40 Hz (its - 3-dB point was just below our measurement limit, apparently about 15 Hz). The noise levels measured through the disc and phono inputs were unusually low, and the amplifier was stable with a complex reactive load simulating a typical difficult speaker system. The FM tuner section of the B285 carries some rather remarkable specifications, including image rejection of 110 dB, alternate-channel selectivity of 96 dB, and a signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) of 84 dB in mono and 80 dB in stereo. Even more impressive than these ratings was the manner in which the receiver met or surpassed them in our tests! The B285 is an outstanding receiver. The audio section has ideal characteristics. Its low distortion varies only slightly with power and never includes significant levels of harmonics higher than the third. Its noise level is among the lowest we have seen (especially from a receiver), making it truly digital ready. Even the apparently modest power output (by current standards) should be more than adequate for any reasonable listener given the extreme conservatism of the ratings and a dynamic headroom surpassing anything else we have yet seen. Studying the manual pays off, however, for there is much more to this receiver than the basic functions. And its those extra added attractions, together with superb performance, that make the Revox B285 one of the most impressive pieces of electronics.
