First, I would like to appologize that I ask the question in English. I am Bulgarian and unfortunatelly do not know Deutsch well. The Question: Do you know if the first combined playback/record headsets for ReVox B215 have been made by Sony ? I have heard that the combined headset for ReVox has always been Canon, is this true ? Do you know if other cassette deck models use the same headset ? I am asking you this because I just bought 2 B215s with completely worn out heads and I wonder if I can replace those with some other headset.
Thank you very much in advance,
regards,
Dimitar

Re: Question about ReVox B215
Dear Dimitar,
as far as I know -and my informations came around 1986/88 directly from Walter Derrer, who died last August under sad circumstances-, Studer's problems with the not constant qualities of Sony's heads increased already within the 710-time to such a dimension, that Studer decided already in the construction-phase of the 215 to avoid further use of that SONY-head-type.
The advantage of Sony's headsystem consisted of the facility, to adjust the azimuth of the record- and reproduce-heads separately. This feature was gone, when Studer went on Canon for the new head-system, which offered just a double-unit of agglutinated record- and reproduce-systems using just one azimut-screw.
So you can be sure to almost 100%, that no 215 was made with Sony-heads. The 215 throughout used the later Canon-head.
I discovered the 710-Sony head in other Sony-cassette-decks of the flagship-class; regarding the Canon-head I have just one experience: EMTEC kept apparently this headtype on 25-piece-trays 'on stock', because they operated canon-equipped cassette-tape-test-devices. Those trays, nevertheless, were scrapped in 2004.
