TAPE RECORDER
Tourbillon
“The old things I re-learned about myself and about the way music has shaped my life are owed equally to the Metaxas & Sins Tourbillon T-RX, which is to tape recorders what the original Quads were once claimed to be to other loudspeakers—a clearer window on the music, a window through which you can not only look at the performers as they were when they were originally recorded, in the light of a day long past, but at the you who once was when you first heard the music that they made, in the noontime of your life.”
FEATURES
Tourbillon
In horology, a tourbillon ( French: “whirlwind”) is an addition to the mechanics of a watch lever escapement to increase accuracy. It was developed around 1795 and patented by the French-Swiss watchmaker Abraham-Louis Breguet on June 26, 1801.
The Metaxas & Sins T-RX Analog Tape Reproducer is the first Tape Recorder to use the same concept to absolutely regulate the speed of the tape through the use of An ARM-CORTEX “controller”.
It is an entirely newly designed professional reel to reel tape location recorder and playback machine that meets and exceeds the highest demands of recording engineers and the most serious audiophiles.

It accomplishes this by using an ARM-CORTEX “controller” which synchronizes 4 of the latest high-torque-low-speed .
The T-RX also combines the highest precision “milgauss” stainless steel mechanical parts mounted onto a chassis which is CNC’d from a solid block of aluminum.
The audio “SOUL” of the TRX electronics borrow from intensive recording work conducted over the past 35 years with Swiss Stellavox portable recorders.
SPECIFICATIONS
Tourbillon
The TRX is operated very simply from its 6 key keyboard. From left to right, the basic functions are:
REWIND | FAST FORWARD | STOP / PLAY | TEST | RECORD.
There is a RECORD SAFETY switch to prevent accidental recording over your precious recordings.] Once you switch the power on at the external power supply, a welcome screen will appear on the NORITAKE LCD display. After the screen has settled, you can engage the individual keypad functions
The signal is EXACTLY the same signal that is fed into the VU meter amplifier inside the machine. So you can also use it for precision VU monitoring with an external VU meter.
The result is a machine that is capable of recording and playback with a level of realism that gives the listener the sense of being present at the live music performance in it’s original venue. Combining 2020’s technology with 1960’s “soul”

Tourbillon
"Brand-new item—innovatively constructed from the best parts in the world and warrantied for two years (parts and labor). And, oh yes, it is also (and for one last time) the most realistic-sounding, highest-fi deity source component I’ve ever heard, as well as one of the coolest looking pieces of stereo gear I’ve ever seen. It will surely be my nominee for TAS’s Overall Product of the Year Award in 2022."
