Nothing sounds likea Revox. it's weakness? the crosstalk of the bass

is better here.

Of the many, many Revoxes I have measured and serviced, this
was never a problem. This leads me to suspect that you're not
done yet: your machine needs a proper alignment. This is not
a difficult task for an experienced, diligent technician equipped
with a proper, calibrated alignment tape and a service manual.

Once done, my experience is that the crosstalk acorss the band
is at or below the machine's basic boradband noise level, which
is itself probably the lowest for a "consumer" tape machine.

But that Revox sound.

Well, properly set up, the Revox is about as devoid of a "sound"
as any machine that's remotely affordable, but that's it's strength.
