deep is needed to clear lid rear overhang when open. Weighing 5kg (111b) the TN-3B is quite light so it needs to be put on a firm surface, that could include a weighty marble slab. The MDF plinth feels rigid and sits on four isolating feet, but they are not height adjustable, which is a pity. It means the turntable needs a level surface. It is also microphonic: close the lid when playing and there’s noise from the loudspeakers. That said, the forerunners do appear to be the Planar 3 and the Sony unit I mentioned mainly as it seems to review better. but the balance was on the bright side from an LP I know as fairly fulsome and weighty. My attention wasn’t drawn to the bass line, being grabbed by what was going on further up the frequency scale. Built-in phono preamp: The built-in phono preamp allows the TN-350 to be easily connected to any receiver or amplifier without a dedicated phono input.

Designed to mimic as close as possible a record cutting head/cutting lathe for highest fidelity & lifespan usually fitted to a precision boron , sapphire , ruby or zirconium ultra light & rigid cantilevers Perhaps the most important difference between the TN-4D and all the other TEAC players is that this is the first with Direct drive. All the others With slightly Rega-inspired design concept with a slim plinth has belt drive. TEAC has managed to create a player with as low alignment as the belt driven turntables thanks to a newly developed brushless motor that drives the platter directly. The Teac and the Akai actually look very similar. I wonder if they are made in the same factory and they attach a different logo at the end?? Founded in 1953, TEAC is a Japanese manufacturer that has been providing consumers with electronic tools, storage devices, and more for over 65 years, but have primarily focused on developing products for music and audio. TEAC was created to be a solution for musicians who are on a budget. They strive to provide affordable recording equipment that doesn’t suffer in quality just because the price is lower, and they definitely deliver with this. Music flows with the TN-3B even lighter, faster, and more agile, the bass is more contoured, tight, and rhythmic. As for an analog, the sound is quite hard and specific, but this should not be considered a disadvantage that diminishes musicality – TEAC efficiently transmits both information and emotions. In the tonal dimension, it is well balanced, although a large proportion of treble will not fit everyone’s imagination and expectations for the analog.Prices valid in stores (all including VAT) until close of business on 27th November 2023.

Authentic belt-drive turntable

From a 3150Hz test tone (DIN 45-452 test disc) the TN-3B produced 3178Hz on our Wow&Flutter meter, making it nearly 1% fast – about the limit of acceptable error before pitch becomes quite obviously high. This points to lax factory adjustment. So Im in the market for a new turntable. Of course I could go for the AT LP60 but hey I wanted something else. I have entry level gear: Yamaha RXV 483 receiver, Sony SS-CS5 three way speakers and for vinyl Im playing my 20 years old super cheap Aiwa px e 850 automatic turntable. This tt looks like the current Audio Technica LP60 and it sounds ok but it is about to die after 20 years of use. It is having some issues and I will put it to rest. The tonearm also differs from the majority of today's players with S-arm. These are often Technics clones made by Hanpin, and with somewhat variable build quality. The arm of the TEAC TN-4D was developed in collaboration with SAEC, a manufacturer known for ultimate HighEnd designs, such as the SAEC WE-4700 costing over ten thousand USD! The high inertia Aluminum die-cast platter is driven by a high torque DC motor with durable Neoprene rubber which achieves a stable rotation. The high accuracy of the spindle is maintained by the polished Stainless steel Spindle and the highly durable bronze spindle holder. Luxury and authentic external design

lustrous and the arm was easy to use, its cue platform dropping the arm smoothly but lifting it fast. I hand cued without difficulty. Platter start was almost instantaneous. I actually did never stop listening to vinyl in spite of listening to CD and digital files as well...
