So this actually is a decent piece of equipment, it is possible to build something good with simple parts after all. Love this video.
There is something i want to tell you: when i go into a thrift shop, i see an almost exact replica of this but in another brand and the text is in Japanese, because i was in a japan thrift shop, i ended up buying it and i can finally play a cassette that i have lying around
Impressive. Tripple combo (Cd+Cassette+Vinyls player) table top music player. Thanks for showing it..
I got me one and it sounds great thanks for this video
Banger after banger from VWestlife! 💪👍💪
Wait a second, my dad used to have one of these. It was branded as "Nakazaki" and included the exact same layout as this one, same buttons, same tuner, same cassette recorder and same CD tray. With one major difference: Instead of having this all-black plastic front it followed the same design as most nostalgic all in one systems, you know, with the golden panel and old-fashioned speaker grills. I think he bought it way back in 2006, but threw it away about 10 years ago. Now that I remember, his had a rubber platter mat included.
Very cool, well done!
The cassette record/play mechanism performed well. Given the lack of recording-level controls, this TEAC used a very mild and unobtrusive form of automatic level control, not something with aggressive gain-riding and peak-limiting. The excellent wow and flutter performance is impressive indeed.
They sold them at Costco during the holidays
If I find one cheap I will definitely pick it up
I would argue that this IS "Teac" in name alone. Teac Japan would probably be horrified to see what Teac America were doing with their brand name - slapping it on cheap, Chinese tat. It might be better than the "Emerson's" of the audio world, but only just! Ceramic cart, bog-standard cassette, permanent magnet erase, etc etc. It is fairly grim.
this is a great record player
Henley already on the phone to top dollar dog!!
thanks for this video! how does its turntable compare to an audiotechinica lp-60x?
Song name at 5:45, and what model is this disk? May pick one up to test some of my own old school setups.
I have the TEAC GF350 CD recorder version, says it has 3.5 watts, but sounds much louder tgat 3.5, I'd imagine this one is also 3.5.
One thing that annoys me with a lot these modern turntables that the unit does not fully encase an LP record. This one having a large hole cut in the back for the record to protrude out. If they had just made the unit that bit larger, it would fully enclose the record. Rant over.
pls send to techmoan so he can do episode with muppets
Bless your apologist heart. The turntable is plastic garbage, the tonearm pressure is too heavy, and the cassette deck is the standard-issue wretched thing we have available to us now. You say it's good...and then both show and tell us that it's bad. Everything's a knock-off. This is clearly hot garbage, though for whatever reason, you refuse to say it. All you can show is solid wow and flutter from the knock-off Tanashin motor. This is unintentional comedy at its finest.
